fairmath

An implementation of ChoiceScript's fairmath system for the web and node.

Install

For the browser, you may include the script via the JSDelivr CND:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/chapelr/fairmath@latest/dist/fairmath.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Or otherwise include the fairmath.min.js or fairmath.js script in your project.

The script will expose a single function Fairmath(), or create a UMD module, if possible.

For node, install via NPM:

npm i fairmath

Then import or require:

const Fairmath = require('fairmath');

Usage

Fairmath()

Syntax: Fairmath(number, change)

Performs the fairmath operation on number, which must be a value between 0 and 100, by fair-adding the change value (or fair-subtracting it, if it's negative). The result is returned. The result will always be between 0 and 100, exclusive.

The equivalent ChoiceScript syntax would be: number %+ change or number %- change.

Arguments:

• number (number): The base number to apply the change to. Must be between 0 and 100.
• change (number): The amount to fair-add. Negative values will be fair-subtracted instead.

Examples:

Fairmath(50, 10); // 55 
Fairmath(50, -10); // 45
Fairmath(70, 40); // 82
Fairmath(30, -40); // 18

Other Details

This fairmath implementation is modeled after the observable effects of ChoiceScript's fairmath operations, but contains no ChoiceScript code and is not based on any other existing code. This implementation always rounds fair-adding operations down and fair-subtracting operations up, as this appears to be the way the rounding is implemented in ChoiceScript. This may be contrary to your expectations.
