Open syntax issues

php.js uses JsLint to help us keep our code consistent and prevent some common bugs.

Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.

Please note that there is a difference between the handling of large numbers in different browsers. e.g.

IE8

1 2	>>decbin(3747030078639374300) "1.101000000000000100000000000010000000000000001(e+61)"

Firefox 3.5

1 2	>>> decbin(3747030078639374300) "11010000000000001000000000000100000000000000010000000000000000"

This is caused by the fact that Number.toString(2) doesn't work in IE for numbers written in scientific notation internally.

decbin('8') does not work correctly. A fix:

1
2
3

function decbin(number) {
    return parseInt(number).toString(2);
}
