Computes the sum of two floats
MIT License
Computes the sum of two floating point numbers as a non-overlapping sequence using Knuth's method.
Using npm:
npm install two-sum
var twoSum = require("two-sum")
//Add two wildly different sized floats
var result = twoSum(1e64, 1e-64)
console.log(result)
//Prints:
// [1e-64, 1e64]
require("two-sum")(a, b[, result])
Computes a non-overlapping sequence representing the sum of a and b.
a
is a numberb
is a numberresult
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.
Based on an idea from JRS robust geometric predicates paper.
