# ResistorJS
ResistorJS is a Javascript library intended to compose electronical resistors.

## Using Resistors in Code
In order to instantiate an 100 Ohm resistor, we simply call `new Resistor(100)`. In order to compose several resistors, the composite resistor types `SeriesResistor` and `ParallelResistor` are available.
```JS
var r1 = new Resistor(100);
var r2 = new Resistor(150);
// Combining resistors
var inSeries = r1.series(r2); // type: SeriesResistor
var inParallel = r1.parallel(r2); // type: ParallelResistor

// Computing resulting resistors
inSeries.getOhmage() // 250
inParallel.getOhmage() // 60

// Drawing to DOM
r1.draw(div1);
r2.draw(div2);
inSeries.draw(div3);
inParallel.draw(div4);
```
Calling `Resistor.draw(element)` generates an SVG from the constructed Resistor object. Above code will render something like this:

## Computing approximations
Sometimes, one wants to use ohmages in an electronical circuit that simply are not available. By cleverly combining a sufficient number of available resistors, one can approximate the needed values. For instance, using only 100Ohm and 100Ohm resistors, one can construct a (sufficiently close to) 127Ohm resistor like so:

`main.js` contains an example application using dynamic programming that computes sufficiently good approximations for resistor values within a set range.
