Used as the "baseSymbols" parameter when calling the CB_baseToInt function internally.

baseSymbolsDestiny array | integer <optional>
CB_baseSymbols.66

Used as the "baseSymbols" parameter when calling the CB_intToBase function internally.

unsigned boolean <optional>
false

Determines whether to treat the input and output numbers as unsigned or not. Used as the "unsigned" parameter for calling both CB_intToBase and CB_baseToInt functions internally.

minusSymbolOrigin string <optional>
'-'|'0'

Used as the "minusSymbol" parameter when calling the CB_baseToInt function internally.

Type
string

CB_baseToInt(number [, baseSymbols] [, unsigned] [, minusSymbol] [, prefix]) → {integer}

Converts a given number which is already in a desired base into an integer (decimal base).


Note: It can return wrong values when the value exceeds the maximum allowed by a number in the client's JavaScript engine. It can also depend on the "baseSymbols" used.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
number string

A string containing the number which is already in the desired base and that we want to convert to an integer.

baseSymbols array | integer <optional>
CB_baseSymbols.66

Array with the desired symbols, using only one per index (their value will correspond to their index). The base (radix) will be the total number of indexes. It should be the base which is already being used by the given number. If an integer greater or equal than 2 is provided, it will try to use it as an index of the CB_baseSymbols object and use it if found or use it as a parameter to call the CB_baseSymbols.get function otherwise. If not provided or the integer is lower than 2, it will use base 66 (defined in the CB_baseSymbols._66 property of the CB_baseSymbols object). It is recommended not to exceed 4096 (or even lower, depending on the client, although some clients could support up to 63988 or even more). The properties of the CB_baseSymbols object or the CB_baseSymbols.get function can be used for this parameter.

unsigned boolean <optional>
false

Determines whether to treat the input and output numbers as unsigned or not.

minusSymbol string <optional>
'-'|'0'

Determines the minus symbol or string for the input, to mark negative numbers. If not provided, it will be '-' for bases equal or lower than 16 (hexadecimal) or '0' (zero character) otherwise. This parameter is ignored if the "unsigned" parameter is set to true.

prefix prefix <optional>
'0'|'0x'|''

Determines the prefix for the input. If not provided, it will be '0' (zero character) for base 8 (octal), '0x' for base 16 (hexadecimal) or nothing (empty string) for all the others. Use an empty string to avoid using anything.

Source:
To Do:
  • Think about allowing to return a string, for bigger numbers (to exceed the limit for integers). Internally, it would need to perform operations comparisons, multiplications with strings, etc.
  • Think about allowing to specify the base for the integer.
  • Think about accepting a decimal symbol to separate decimals and support float numbers.
Returns:

Returns the integer number in decimal base.

If they both are arrays (numeric indexes), it will keep all elements (attaching the elements of the second array after the elements of the first one).


Otherwise, if either of them is not an array (it should be an associative array which is an object in JavaScript), it will merge the elements (overwritting those whose index is the same and keeping the ones from the second array/object):

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
arrayOrObjectA array | Object | string | null | undefined <optional>
[]|{}

One of the arrays (numeric indexes) or associative arrays (object) that we want to combine. If a string is provided, it will try to convert it into a new object (the string should be a JSON-valid string). It can be optional if "arrayOrObjectB" is a valid value and neither null nor undefined. If not provided but the "arrayOrObjectB" is provided, it will be a new empty array if the "arrayOrObjectB" is an array or it will be an empty object otherwise.

arrayOrObjectB array | Object | string | null | undefined <optional>
[]|{}

One of the arrays (numeric indexes) or associative arrays (object) that we want to combine. If a string is provided, it will try to convert it into a new object (the string should be a JSON-valid string).

CB_combineAutomatically( [a] [, b] [, avoidDuplicatedValuesInArray] [, modifyArrayOrObjectA]) → {*}

Tries to combine two given values guessing the best way to do it and returns their combination. Using the following rules:


If both values are either undefined or null, returns null.


Otherwise, if both values are boolean, returns the AND operation for the two of them (a && b).


Otherwise, if either of the two is a string (not empty) and is not JSON valid, combines them as URL (GET) parameters using CB_combineURIParameters.


Otherwise, if either of them is JSON valid, combines them as JSON using CB_combineJSON (passing the received avoidDuplicatedValuesInArray value as a parameter).


Otherwise, combines them as arrays or objects using CB_combineArraysOrObjects (passing the received "avoidDuplicatedValuesInArray" value as a parameter).

Converts a given integer into a desired base.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
number integer | string

The integer that we want to convert to the desired base. For bigger numbers (up to 999999999999999934464 or even lower, depending on the client and the "baseSymbols" used), it is recommended to use a string which will allow to accept a slightly bigger number (up to 999999999999999999999999 or lower, depending on the client and the "baseSymbols" used). Really big numbers will not be codified properly even when passed as a string due to the limitations of JavaScript engines and maximum number allowed to be stored in a variable.

baseSymbols array | integer <optional>
CB_baseSymbols.66

Array with the desired symbols, using only one per index (their value will correspond to their index). The base (radix) will be the total number of indexes. If an integer greater or equal than 2 is provided, it will try to use it as an index of the CB_baseSymbols object and use it if found or use it as a parameter to call the CB_baseSymbols.get function otherwise. If not provided or the integer is lower than 2, it will use base 66 (defined in the CB_baseSymbols._66 property of the CB_baseSymbols object). It is recommended not to exceed 4096 (or even lower, depending on the client, although some clients could support up to 63988 or even more). The properties of the CB_baseSymbols object or the CB_baseSymbols.get function can be used for this parameter.

unsigned boolean <optional>
false

Determines whether to treat the input and output numbers as unsigned or not.

minusSymbol string <optional>
'-'|'0'

Determines the minus symbol or string for the output, to mark negative numbers. If not provided, it will be '-' for bases equal or lower than 16 (hexadecimal) or '0' (zero character) otherwise. This parameter is ignored if the "unsigned" parameter is set to true.

prefix prefix <optional>
'0'|'0x'|''

Determines the prefix for the output. If not provided, it will be '0' (zero character) for base 8 (octal), '0x' for base 16 (hexadecimal) or nothing (empty string) for all the others. Use an empty string to avoid using anything.

Source:
To Do:
  • Think about allowing the "number" parameter to be a very long string, for bigger numbers (to exceed the limit for integers). Internally, it would need to perform operations comparisons, divisions, remainder calculation with strings, etc.
  • Think about allowing to specify the base for the integer (now it is 16 if it begins with "0x", 8 if it begins with "0" and it is not a string or 10 otherwise, and newer clients can support '0b' for binaries, '0o' for octals, ).
  • Think about accepting a decimal symbol to separate decimals and support float numbers.
Returns:

Returns an empty string in the case that the given number cannot be parsed as an integer. Otherwise, returns the given number in the desired base as a string.

Type
string

Source:
To Do:
  • Accept a "recursive" parameter (boolean) to affect multiple levels (array of arrays of strings, etc.).
  • Consider accepting objects instead of arrays in the "element" parameter.
  • Think about optimizing (using a counter for the number of occurrences in the loop and trim all the occurrences when finished).

Name Type Argument Default Description
number integer | float | string

The number that we want to format. It can be a string.

decimals integer <optional>
2

The number of decimals we want to allow.

stringify boolean <optional>
false

Set to true if we want it to return a string (filled with trailing zeros to reach the desired number of decimals).

Source:
To Do:
  • Allow to define a minimum length for the integer part of the "number" parameter, so it will fill with leading zeros if needed (when "stringify" is set to true). Think about allowing to define a maximum too.
Returns:

Returns zero in the case a non-valid number has been provided.
