I have a double in Javascript whose value is, for example, 1.0883076389305e-311. I want to express it in the following form, using as example the 'bc' utility to calculate the expanded/higher precision/scale form:
$ bc
scale=400
1.0883076389305000*10^-311
.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\
00000000000000000000000000000000000000010883076389305000000000000000\
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I need a Javascript bigint library or code to produce the same output as a string with the expanded/higher precision form of the number.
Thanks!
This is horrible, but works with every test case I can think of:
Number.prototype.toFullFixed = function() {
var s = Math.abs(this).toExponential();
var a = s.split('e');
var f = a[0].replace('.', '');
var d = f.length;
var e = parseInt(a[1], 10);
var n = Math.abs(e);
if (e >= 0) {
n = n - d + 1;
}
var z = '';
for (var i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
z += '0';
}
if (e <= 0) {
f = z + f;
f = f.substring(0, 1) + '.' + f.substring(1);
} else {
f = f + z;
if (n < 0) {
f = f.substring(0, e + 1) + '.' + f.substring(e + 1);
}
}
if (this < 0) {
f = '-' + f;
}
return f;
};
If you find a number that doesn't parse back correctly, i.e. n !== parseFloat(n.toFullFixed())
, please let me know what it is!
