lexicographic-integer

create lexicographic string keys for positive integers without zero-padding

Note: there is some loss of precision for very large values (> 2^32)

example

var convert = require('lexicographic-integer');
console.log(convert(12345));

output:

[ 252, 47, 62 ]

hex list

var convert = require('lexicographic-integer');

for (var n = 0; n < 5; n++) {
    console.log(n, convert(n, 'hex'));
}

console.log('...');

for (var n = 248; n < 257; n++) {
    console.log(n, convert(n, 'hex'));
}

console.log('...');

for (var n = 5000; n < 5005; n++) {
    console.log(n, convert(n, 'hex'));
}

console.log('...');

for (var n = 21378213; n < Number.MAX_VALUE; n *= 1513254198219212) {
    console.log(n, convert(n, 'hex'));
}

output:

3 '03'
4 '04'

248 'f8'
249 'f9'

methods

var convert = require('lexicographic-integer')

convert(n, encoding='array')

If encoding is undefined or 'array', return an array of byte values between 0 and 255, inclusive for the integer n.

If encoding is 'hex', return a lexicographic hex string for the integer n.

install

With npm do:

npm install lexicographic-number
