Arithmetic & Conversion

Sign, magnitude, roots, clamping, primality and character-code conversion.

.abs() → number

Absolute value.

.invabs() → number

Negative absolute value (always ≤ 0).

.sign() → string

Returns "+" for zero or positive numbers and "-" for negative numbers.

.clamp(min, max) → number

Constrains the value to the range [min, max].

.sqrt() → number

Square root.

.isPrime() → boolean

Whether the (integer) value is prime.

log (-8).sign()        // "-"
log (16).sqrt()        // 4
log (90).clamp(0, 60)  // 60
log (7).isPrime()      // true

.chr() → string

Interprets the number as a character code and returns the matching character.

log (65).chr()  // "A"

Numbers also support the universal conversion methods .toStr(), .toInt(), .toNum(), .toBool(), .getType(), .clone() - see Type & conversion methods.
