Iterations NodeJS Package
Simple method for mathematical iteratives
Iterations JS is a simple package that is able to create mathematical iterative objects based on recursive formulas, e.g. fibonacci, etc.
It is extremely easy to use this library in a Node.js project.
First, navigate to a terminal with nodeJS and npm installed, and type in:
$ npm install iterations
Then, you can navigate to a javascript file in your directory, where you can use the object as such:
index.js
const iter = require('iterations')
Then, to create an iterable object, you must initialize it with the initial value of the recursive sequence. This can be done in one of two ways:
- Create an object and initialize at the same time.
- This is a better idea if you are planning to run the process without any user input.
index.js
const Iter = require('iterations')
let i = new Iter(20)
// This initializes a new iterative object i with the value 20
- Create an object and initialize at a later time.
- This may be preferred if user input must be taken at a later time.
index.js
const iter = require('iterations')
const i = new Iter()
// Code here
//i is not yet initialized
i.initialize(20)
// i is now initialized
Keep in mind that any other iteratives tasks fail if i is not initialized.
Refer to /examples/collatz.js and /examples/fibonacci.js in the GitHub repo for more context (keep in mind that you will have to change the local-based require tags to properly get functionality.)
