Float
Provide utilities for JS float.
_NaN
let _NaN: floatThe special value "Not a Number". See NaN on MDN.
isNaN
let isNaN: float => boolTests if the given value is _NaN
Note that both _NaN = _NaN and _NaN == _NaN will return false. isNaN is
therefore necessary to test for _NaN. Return true if the given value is
_NaN, false otherwise. See isNaN on MDN.
isFinite
let isFinite: float => boolTests if the given value is finite. Return true if the given value is a finite
number, false otherwise. See isFinite on MDN.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* returns [false] */
Js.Float.isFinite(infinity)
/* returns [false] */
Js.Float.isFinite(neg_infinity)
/* returns [false] */
Js.Float.isFinite(Js.Float._NaN)
/* returns [true] */
Js.Float.isFinite(1234.)
toExponential
let toExponential: float => stringFormats a float using exponential (scientific) notation. Return a
string representing the given value in exponential notation. Raise
RangeError if digits is not in the range [0, 20] (inclusive). See toExponential on MDN.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "7.71234e+1" */
Js.Float.toExponential(77.1234)->Js.log
/* prints "7.7e+1" */
Js.Float.toExponential(77.)->Js.log
toExponentialWithPrecision
let toExponentialWithPrecision: (float, ~digits: int) => stringFormats a float using exponential (scientific) notation. digits specifies
how many digits should appear after the decimal point. The value must be in
the range [0, 20] (inclusive). Return a string representing the given value
in exponential notation. The output will be rounded or padded with zeroes if
necessary. Raise RangeError if digits is not in the range [0, 20] (inclusive).
See toExponential on MDN.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "7.71e+1" */
Js.Float.toExponentialWithPrecision(77.1234, ~digits=2)->Js.log
toFixed
let toFixed: float => stringFormats a float using fixed point notation. Return a string representing the
given value in fixed-point notation (usually). Raise RangeError if digits is not
in the range [0, 20] (inclusive). See toFixed on MDN.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "12346" (note the rounding) */
Js.Float.toFixed(12345.6789)->Js.log
/* print "1.2e+21" */
Js.Float.toFixed(1.2e21)->Js.log
toFixedWithPrecision
let toFixedWithPrecision: (float, ~digits: int) => stringFormats a float using fixed point notation. digits specifies how many digits
should appear after the decimal point. The value must be in the range [0, 20]
(inclusive). Defaults to 0. Return a string representing the given value in
fixed-point notation (usually). See toFixed on MDN.
The output will be rounded or padded with zeroes if necessary.
Raise RangeError if digits is not in the range [0, 20] (inclusive)
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "12345.7" (note the rounding) */
Js.Float.toFixedWithPrecision(12345.6789, ~digits=1)->Js.log
/* prints "0.00" (note the added zeroes) */
Js.Float.toFixedWithPrecision(0., ~digits=2)->Js.log
toPrecision
let toPrecision: float => stringFormats a float using some fairly arbitrary rules. Return a string
representing the given value in fixed-point (usually). toPrecision differs
from Js.Float.toFixed in that the former will format the number with full
precision, while the latter will not output any digits after the decimal point.
See toPrecision on MDN.
Raise RangeError if digits is not in the range accepted by this function (what do you mean "vague"?)
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "12345.6789" */
Js.Float.toPrecision(12345.6789)->Js.log
/* print "1.2e+21" */
Js.Float.toPrecision(1.2e21)->Js.log
toPrecisionWithPrecision
let toPrecisionWithPrecision: (float, ~digits: int) => stringFormats a float using some fairly arbitrary rules. digits specifies how many
digits should appear in total. The value must between 0 and some arbitrary number
that's hopefully at least larger than 20 (for Node it's 21. Why? Who knows).
See toPrecision on MDN.
Return a string representing the given value in fixed-point or scientific
notation. The output will be rounded or padded with zeroes if necessary.
toPrecisionWithPrecision differs from toFixedWithPrecision in that the former
will count all digits against the precision, while the latter will count only
the digits after the decimal point. toPrecisionWithPrecision will also use
scientific notation if the specified precision is less than the number for digits
before the decimal point.
Raise RangeError if digits is not in the range accepted by this function (what do you mean "vague"?)
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "1e+4" */
Js.Float.toPrecisionWithPrecision(12345.6789, ~digits=1)->Js.log
/* prints "0.0" */
Js.Float.toPrecisionWithPrecision(0., ~digits=2)->Js.log
toString
let toString: float => stringFormats a float as a string. Return a string representing the given value in
fixed-point (usually). See toString on MDN.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "12345.6789" */
Js.Float.toString(12345.6789)->Js.log
toStringWithRadix
let toStringWithRadix: (float, ~radix: int) => stringFormats a float as a string. radix specifies the radix base to use for the
formatted number. The value must be in the range [2, 36] (inclusive). Return a
string representing the given value in fixed-point (usually). See toString on MDN.
Raise RangeError if radix is not in the range [2, 36] (inclusive)
Examples
RESCRIPT/* prints "110" */
Js.Float.toStringWithRadix(6., ~radix=2)->Js.log
/* prints "11.001000111101011100001010001111010111000010100011111" */
Js.Float.toStringWithRadix(3.14, ~radix=2)->Js.log
/* prints "deadbeef" */
Js.Float.toStringWithRadix(3735928559., ~radix=16)->Js.log
/* prints "3f.gez4w97ry0a18ymf6qadcxr" */
Js.Float.toStringWithRadix(123.456, ~radix=36)->Js.log
fromString
let fromString: string => floatParses the given string into a float using JavaScript semantics. Return the
number as a float if successfully parsed, _NaN otherwise.
Examples
RESCRIPT/* returns 123 */
Js.Float.fromString("123")
/* returns 12.3 */
Js.Float.fromString("12.3")
/* returns 0 */
Js.Float.fromString("")
/* returns 17 */
Js.Float.fromString("0x11")
/* returns 3 */
Js.Float.fromString("0b11")
/* returns 9 */
Js.Float.fromString("0o11")
/* returns [_NaN] */
Js.Float.fromString("hello")
/* returns [_NaN] */
Js.Float.fromString("100a")
