Package Exports
- double-double
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (double-double) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Pure double & double-double floating point arithmetic functions with strict error bounds
Installation
npm install double-doubleOverview
- Double-double precision floating point operators (similar to quad precision)
- Optimized for speed (see benchmark below)
- Operators include: +, -, *, /, √, abs, <, >, ===, etc.
- No classes ⇒ a double-double is simply a length 2
Numberarray, e.g.
import { twoSum } from 'double-double';
// Specified directly (low order double first)
const a = [-4.357806199228875e-10, 11_638_607.274152497];
// ...or more usually from an earlier calculation
const b = twoSum(213.456, 111.111); // => [-1.4210854715202004e-14, 324.567] (completely error-free)- All functions are pure, e.g.
// using `a` and `b` as defined above (ddAddDd => double-double + double-double)
const c = ddAddDd(a,b); // => [-2.42072459299969e-10, 11638931.841152497]Research
