Sylver

npm version

❄️A lightweight math library for JavaScript. It features a flexible expression parser comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants. Powerful and easy to use.

In active development, any pull request will be welcome :)

Features

  • Minimal and fast
  • Supports numbers, complex numbers, fractions, conditions.
  • Compatible with JavaScript.
  • Contains a flexible expression parser.
  • Dynamic creation of variables, multivalue. (Experimental)
  • Comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants.
  • Has no dependencies. Runs on any JavaScript engine.
  • Can be used as a command line application as well. (Experimental)
  • Open source.

Usage

npm install --save sylver 
# or 
yarn add sylver
// load sylver
var sylver = require('sylver');

// basic
sylver("(3*2)+6")           // 12
sylver("~16")               // -16
sylver("7!")                // 5040

// compare (0 = false; 1 = true)
sylver("32<>32")            // 0
sylver("(10*2)<=(40+3)")    // 1
sylver("11 eq 11")          // 1
sylver("4<=9")              // 1

// conditions
sylver("if(3+8<=23)12:3")   // 12

// intervals
sylver("2 to 8")            // [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
sylver("(4*PI) to (23/2)")  // [11.5, 12.5]
sylver("2 * (6 to 10)")     // [ 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 ]

// list
sylver("[2, 3, 5, 1] * [6, 3, 5, 4, 102]")     // [ 12, 9, 25, 4, 102 ]

// algebra
sylver("cos(4)")            // -0.6536436208636119
sylver("atan(7)")           // 1.4288992721907328
sylver("atanh(-0.4)")       // -0.4236489301936018
// See: test/algebra1.js

// Other
sylver("abs(ln(2)*(4^3))*(if(3<>6) 2:5)")  // 88.722839111673

Usage globally (Available in the next versions)

npm i -g sylver

# or
yarn global add sylver

Enter from the command terminal:

sylver --help

Mathematical operators

Operator Description
+ addition
- subtraction
multiplication
/ right division, i.e. x/y
ˆ power, i.e. x^y

Mathematical functions: trigonometry

functions
log log10 log1p log2 sqrt, cos, tan, sin, atan, asin, acos, atanh, acosh, asinh

Intervals

Sylver is able to generate lists of numbers from a range:

sylver("1 to 7")                  // [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]
sylver("2 * (6 to 10)")           // [12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
sylver("(1 to 4) * [2, 4, 6, 7]") // [ 2, 8, 18, 28 ]
sylver("(1 to 4) * 3")            // [ 3, 6, 9, 12 ]
sylver("1 to (10/2) + 10")        // [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

The order of the operators is important:

sylver("10 / [2, 5, 4]")          // [5, 2, 2.5]

// This is different from:
sylver("[2, 5, 4] / 10")          // [0.2, 0.5, 0.4]

Conditions

Evaluate expressions and returns a decision:

sylver(`if((5*2)>(6*2)) 80 : 35 `)    // 35

You can use the returned result to operate with other expressions:

sylver("(if(3>0)1:2)*5)")            // 5

Constants

Currently there are two constants available: PI, E

sylver("PI")        // 3.141592653589793
sylver("E")         // 2.718281828459045

Variables (experimental: Available in the next versions npm)

The creation of variables is dynamic, it is not necessary to specify the data type: Imagine that you are creating a variable in javascript but without specifying var.

A variable can contain a number or a list of numbers.

// Create a variable
sylver("var12 := ((1 to 5) * 34)")

// Get value of a variable
sylver(":var12")                  // [ 34, 68, 102, 136, 170 ]

When you create a variable, the data that has been assigned is returned:

sylver("hello := 123")        // 123

// e.g.
sylver("(bye := 5) * 2")      // 10

Browser support

// TODO: Version for browsers in development Sylver works on any ES5 compatible JavaScript engine: node.js 0.10, and Internet Explorer 9 and newer, and all other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). If support for old browsers like Internet Explorer 8 is required, the es5-shim library has to be loaded.
