# 🔢 simpleMath.mjs

A collection of simple math utilities that make basic calculations a breeze.

## Overview

`simpleMath.mjs` offers a set of essential mathematical functions, from the classic Rule of Three (direct and inverse proportions) to calculating percentages and even determining age based on a birthdate. It's an easy-to-use module for anyone who needs to perform fundamental calculations in JavaScript.

## Functions

### 🔢 `ruleOfThree(val1, val2, val3, inverse)`

**Performs a Rule of Three calculation.**  
This function calculates a proportional relationship between three values, which is commonly used in mathematical and real-world scenarios.

- **`val1`**: First reference value (numerator in direct proportion, denominator in inverse).
- **`val2`**: Second reference value (denominator in direct proportion, numerator in inverse).
- **`val3`**: Third value (numerator in direct proportion, denominator in inverse).
- **`inverse`**: Set to `true` for inverse proportion, or `false` for direct proportion.

#### Example - Direct Proportion:

```js
ruleOfThree(2, 6, 3, false); // → 9
```

#### Example - Inverse Proportion:

```js
ruleOfThree(2, 6, 3, true); // → 4
```

### 💯 `getSimplePerc(price, percentage)`

**Calculates the percentage of a given base value.**

- **`price`**: The base value (for example, the original price of an item).
- **`percentage`**: The percentage to calculate from the base value.

#### Example:

```js
getSimplePerc(200, 15); // → 30
```

---

### 🎂 `getAge(timeData, now)`

**Calculates the age based on a birthdate.**

- **`timeData`**: The birthdate. It can be a timestamp, an ISO string, or a `Date` object.
- **`now`**: The current date (`Date` object). If not provided, the current date will be used.

If the `timeData` is not provided or is invalid, the function returns `null`.

#### Example:

```js
getAge('1990-01-01'); // → 35 (assuming the current year is 2025)
```

### 📦 `formatBytes(bytes, decimals, maxUnit)`

Converts a byte value into a human-readable format with the unit and value separated. It allows you to set the number of decimal places and restricts the conversion to a specified maximum unit (optional). 🌐

### Parameters:

- `bytes` (number) ➡️ **The number of bytes to format.**  
  Must be a non-negative number.  
- `decimals` (number|null) ➡️ **The number of decimal places to include in the result.**  
  Defaults to `2`. If negative, it will be treated as `0`. If `null`, no rounding is applied and the full precision is used.  
- `maxUnit` (string|null) ➡️ **Optional unit limit.**  
  If provided, restricts conversion to this unit at most (e.g., `'MB'` prevents conversion to `'GB'` or higher).  
  Must be one of:  
  `'Bytes'`, `'KB'`, `'MB'`, `'GB'`, `'TB'`, `'PB'`, `'EB'`, `'ZB'`, `'YB'`.  
  Defaults to `null`, meaning no restriction.

### Returns:

- **Object** with two properties:
  - `unit`: (string|null) ➡️ **The unit of the value** (e.g., 'MB', 'GB', etc.).
  - `value`: (number|null) ➡️ **The formatted byte value.**  
    If the input is invalid, returns `null` for both.

### Example Usage:

```js
formatBytes(123456789);
// Returns: { unit: 'MB', value: 117.74 }
```

```js
formatBytes(1073741824, 2, 'MB');
// Returns: { unit: 'MB', value: 1024 }
```

```js
formatBytes(10485760); 
// Returns: { unit: 'MB', value: 10 }

formatBytes(1073741824); 
// Returns: { unit: 'GB', value: 1 }

formatBytes(1073741824, 2, 'MB'); 
// Returns: { unit: 'MB', value: 1024 }
```

### Notes:

* **Formatting:** Converts bytes to the most appropriate unit (from 'Bytes' to 'YB') based on the byte value.
* **Max Unit:** The `maxUnit` parameter allows you to limit the highest unit for conversion. If not provided, it will convert all the way up to 'YB'.
* **Decimals:** The result can be customized with a specified number of decimal places for precision. If `decimals` is `null`, no rounding is applied, and the full precision value is returned.
