square()
square() returns the square of a number. This has only a method function.
Syntax
method function
ba.square();
Parameters
method function
none
Return value
method function - {BigArith}
A BigArith object with its value equals to the square of the value of the BigArith object it is called on.
Description
There is no static method function for square() so it should ALWAYS be used as a member function.
Examples
In the server-side, always remember to add the line
var BigArith = require('bigarith.js');however every other thing remains the same in both server-side and client-side code.
Using method function
var ba = new BigArith("-45.456");
ba = ba.square(); //BigArith object with value "2066.247936"
ba = new BigArith("45.5");
ba = ba.square(); //BigArith object with value "2070.25"
ba = new BigArith("2");
ba = ba.square(); //BigArith object with value "4"
ba = new BigArith("3");
ba = ba.square(); //BigArith object with value "9"
Method chaining
Since the method returns a BigArith object, method chaining is possible.
var ba = new BigArith("-17031986");
ba = ba.divide("+17031986").add("24011985").multiply("456785564").subtract("2"); //BigArith object with value "10968327654198974"
