imul

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$ $dependencies$

Perform C-like multiplication of two signed 32-bit integers.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-imul

Usage

var imul = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-imul' );

imul( a, b )

Performs C-like multiplication of two signed 32-bit integers.

var v = imul( -10|0, 4|0 );
// returns -40

v = imul( 1073741824|0, -5|0 ); // 2^30 * -5 = -5368709120 => 32-bit integer overflow
// returns -1073741824

Notes

The function emulates C-like multiplication of two signed 32-bit integers.

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' ).factory;
var INT32_MIN = require( '@stdlib/constants-int32-min' );
var INT32_MAX = require( '@stdlib/constants-int32-max' );
var imul = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-imul' );

var randi;
var a;
var b;
var y;
var i;

randi = discreteUniform( INT32_MIN, INT32_MAX );

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    a = randi()|0;
    b = randi()|0;
    y = imul( a, b );
    console.log( '%d x %d = %d', a, b, y );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
