Overview

Package price implements functions to ease working with hcnet price values. At present, prices are only used within the offer system, and are represented by a fraction whose numberator and denominator are both 32-bit signed integers.

Functions

func ConvertToBuyingUnits

func ConvertToBuyingUnits(sellingOfferAmount int64, sellingUnitsNeeded int64, pricen int64, priced int64) (int64, int64, error)

ConvertToBuyingUnits uses special rounding logic to multiply the amount by the price and returns (buyingUnits, sellingUnits) that can be taken from the offer

offerSellingBound = (offer.price.n > offer.price.d)
    ? offer.amount
    : ceil(floor(offer.amount * offer.price) / offer.price)
pathPaymentAmountBought = min(offerSellingBound, pathPaymentBuyingBound)
pathPaymentAmountSold = ceil(pathPaymentAmountBought * offer.price)

offer.amount = amount selling
offerSellingBound = roundingCorrectedOffer
pathPaymentBuyingBound = needed
pathPaymentAmountBought = what we are consuming from offer
pathPaymentAmountSold = amount we are giving to the buyer

Sell units = pathPaymentAmountSold and buy units = pathPaymentAmountBought

this is how we do floor and ceiling in hcnet-core: https://github.com/shantanu-hashcash/hcnet-core/blob/9af27ef4e20b66f38ab148d52ba7904e74fe502f/src/util/types.cpp#L201

func MulFractionRoundDown

func MulFractionRoundDown(x int64, n int64, d int64) (int64, error)

MulFractionRoundDown sets x = (x * n) / d, which is a round-down operation see https://github.com/shantanu-hashcash/hcnet-core/blob/9af27ef4e20b66f38ab148d52ba7904e74fe502f/src/util/types.cpp#L201

func MustParse

func MustParse(v string) xdr.Price

MustParse is like Parse except that it panics on errors.

func Parse

func Parse(v string) (xdr.Price, error)

Parse calculates and returns the best rational approximation of the given real number price while still keeping both the numerator and the denominator of the resulting value within the precision limits of a 32-bit signed integer..

func StringFromFloat64

func StringFromFloat64(v float64) string

StringFromFloat64 will format a float64 to decimal representation with 7 digits after the decimal point
