trin

Description

Simple decimal to balanced ternary converter using vanilla JS. A rudimentary HTML/Scss UI is provided.

Balanced trinary is a positional number system where digits (called trits) are independently signed. Legal balanced trinary values are *-1 *, *0 * and 1.

---

The decimal input value is temporarily converted to unbalanced trinary, resulting in an array of digits with legal value *0 *, *1 * or 2.

The unbalanced notation is then converted to balanced trinary.

Only works with integers (positive or negative).

Use : Web tool

• input a decimal integer in the first field.
• the second field shows the balanced trinary value. Trits values are comma-separated and listed from least significant value to most significant value (left to right).

Use : JS

toTrin()

• toTrin( decimalInteger )
• Returns an array of trit values :

everything = toTrin(42);

>> everything = [ 0, -1, -1, -1, 1 ]

toTrit()

• toTrit( tritValue )
• Returns a trit object when passed *-1 *, *0 * or 1. :

myTrit = toTrit(-1);

>> myTrit = Object { 
		value: -1, 
		sign: "-", 
		string: "T", 
		glyph: "/" 
		}

toUnbalanced()

• toUnbalanced( decimalInteger )

• Returns an array of unbalanced trinary values :

everything = toUnbalanced(42);

>> everything = [ 0, 2, 1, 1 ]

TODO

toTrin()

Return trit objects by default (with value and various notations).

toTrit()

Accomodate for passed arrays.

fromTrin(trinValue)

Convert from balanced trinary to decimal.
