Can't get math module to generate hexadecimal values

Questions & Answers
1

So, the math module links to the following page for how to format expressions: math.js | an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js

So, on that page, they have very simple examples for how to convert numbers to a hexadecimal equivalent:

format(255, {notation: "hex"})

But when I try that, I get an error:

DataError
Unknown notation "hex". Choose "auto", "exponential", or "fixed".

But auto, exponential, or fixed are not what I need. I need to be able to use the hex notation, which is in the math.js documentation. Does anyone know how to convert a regular decimal number to it’s hexadecimal equivalent?

Thanks

Looks like Make only implemented a subset of the math.js library, for the format function they decided to restrict it to only auto/exponential/fixed.

According to the library documentation, the full set also includes engineering/bin/oct/hex, which is not implemented/allowed by Make.

This could also be a bug, in which case you should report it as such.
