ES6 adds a clz function, but it's a method of Number.prototype.clz rather than Math.clz.
The rationale for this decision is here (search for clz in the page): http://esdiscuss.org/notes/2013-07-25 Can we reverse this, for users' sake? The pattern in ES1-5 is quite strong: math functions go on the Math object. The rationale (What if we add a uint64 type?) doesn't seem compelling enough to justify the weirdness of the result: we'll have a single mathematical operation available only as a Number method, and all others available only as Math functions. -j _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
