TypeScript Numbers
Numbers are used to perform mathematical operation. All numbers are stored as floating point numbers. Number literals can form of binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal and floating point values.
The binary number starts with 0b and consists of 0s and 1s. For example, 0b1100 is a binary representation and its decimal value is 12.
let value : number = 0b1100; // Binary literal
// Display stored value
console.log(value); // 12
Observe that by default binary literals are stored in decimal format. In the case when the binary value needs to be displayed, we can use the toString() method.
let value : number = 0b1100; // Binary literal
// Display stored value
console.log(value); // 12
// Display binary value
console.log(value.toString(2)); // 1100
Here the base 2 value is given in the toString() method. These 12 decimal values represent binary formats (1100).
Octal Number : A decimal number which is start with 0o it is called octal number.
let value : number = 0o12; // Octal literal
// Display stored value
console.log(value); // 10
// Display Octal value
console.log(value.toString(8)); // 12
Decimal Number : is positive and negative numbers which contain digit of [0-9]. And large number can be separated by underscore.
let a : number = 123;
let b : number = 99_9_99;
// Display stored value
console.log(a); // 123
console.log(b); // 99999
Hexadecimal Number : This number are start with 0x. The suffix may contain numerals such as [0-9] and alphabet [A-F (A-F)] letters.
let value : number = 0x7b; // Hexadecimal literal
// Display stored value
console.log(value); // 123
// Display Hexadecimal value
console.log(value.toString(16)); // 7b
