This package provides a way to perform generic math functions on numeric types. The code of this package is adapted from: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/26022/generic-calculator-and-generic-number
Get Started
$ dotnet add package CodeChops.GenericMathReadme
Generic math
Provides a way to perform generic math functions on the following numeric types: byte, sbyte, decimal, double, float, int, uint, nint, nuint, long, ulong, short, ushort. The following operations are supported: add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo, negate, plus, increment, decrement, leftShift, rightShift, onesComplement, and, or, xor.

Other features:
- Supports converting at runtime (when the type to convert to/from is not known at compile time).
- Contains a JSON converter which cleanly and correctly converts these numbers from and to JSON.
Note:
- This functionality can nowadays also be achieved by using the GenericMath functionality of .NET 7. C# 11 also has to be used because it makes use of static abstract members in interfaces, which is introduced in C# 11. See: Microsoft - Generic math
