structure

The code for the algorithms is contained within the volumes directory, with subdirectories for each volume. (1, 2, etc.)

Within each of the aforementioned directories are individual files for each algorithm. These may be accessed individually or through the directory.js file at the root of the repository.

directory.js usage

This file may be used to specify which algorithm you would like to run, and with which inputs.

Run node directory.js --help for help.

The program takes two base arguments:

• --volume: Specify the volume you want to access, eg. 1
• --program: Specify the program you want to access, eg. euclid

Any input to the requested program can be specified as the remaining arguments. Putting it all together:

node directory.js --volume 1 --program euclid 20 100

or via npm start

npm run start -- --volume 1 --program euclid 20 100

If no input is specified (and some input is required), that program's usage will be output.

tests

Built with Mocha and Chai, coverage with nyc
