This document tracks the implementation progress of the BigDecimal library, inspired by the bignumber.js implementation but focused on decimal arithmetic with arbitrary precision.
- Basic BigDecimal class structure
- Constructor supporting multiple input types (string, number, bigint, BigDecimal)
- Internal value representation using bigint
- Scale (decimal places) management
- Sign handling
- Addition (plus)
- Subtraction (minus)
- Multiplication (times)
- Division (div)
- Power (pow)
- Square root (sqrt) - basic implementation
- Negation (negate)
- Absolute value (abs)
- Comparison methods (compareTo)
- Value validation (isValid)
- Zero checks (isZero)
- Sign checks (isPositive, isNegative)
- toString() implementation
- toFixed() for decimal place formatting
- valueOf() for primitive conversion
