Package Exports

two-sum

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 (two-sum) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

two-sum

Computes the sum of two floating point numbers as a non-overlapping sequence using Knuth's method.

D.E. Knuth. "The Art of Computer Programming: Seminumerical Algorithms". Volume 2. 1981

Install

Using npm:

    npm install two-sum

Example

var twoSum = require("two-sum")

//Add two wildly different sized floats
var result = twoSum(1e64, 1e-64)
console.log(result)

//Prints:
//  [1e-64, 1e64]

API

`require("two-sum")(a, b[, result])`

Computes a non-overlapping sequence representing the sum of a and b.

a is a number
b is a number
result is an optional length 2 array encoding the result of the sum of a and b

Returns A length 2 array representing the non-overlapping sequence encoding the sum of a and b. The first term has smaller magnitude than the second.
