Update SeedManager to use bignumber.js

[BeepBot99]

Issue Contents

I just created SeedManager in PHP. It will be at the end of this issue. The problem is, it was giving slightly different answers than the JavaScript SeedManager was. After further investigation, I realized that the JavaScript was rounding the big numbers to the nearest thousand, while the PHP was not. Therefore, I want to implement bignumber.js into the JavaScript so that it stores the numbers as strings instead of numbers, so it will not round them. I am asking for permission to implement that into SeedManager in the twelve-of-code-official/challenges#2 branch. In case you may want it, here is the PHP for SeedManager:

<?php
$state = 1000000000; # Starting seed

function nextFloat() {
    global $state;
    $m = 0x80000000;
    $a = 1103515245;
    $c = 12345;
    $state = ($a * $state + $c) % $m;
    return $state / ($m - 1);
}
echo nextFloat(); # nextFloat() gives the next random number. The first time you call it should give the same number as the first item in the array for the JavaScript SeedManager.

TL;DR

The author created a PHP version of SeedManager, but it was found to produce slightly different results than the JavaScript version. The problem was identified to be the JavaScript version rounding the big numbers to the nearest thousand, while the PHP version was not. The author strongly recommends implementing bignumber.js into the JavaScript version to prevent the rounding of numbers and ensure consistency in the generated results.

You are allowed to use the twelve-of-code-official/challenges#2 branch until tomorrow.

bro that was chatgpt edited, only chatgpt would say "The author" and not "I" in this context

@Mesure73L Can I do this in branch twelve-of-code-official/challenges#2, or should I create a new branch from it?

[Mesure73L]

You can do this in branch 92.

@Mesure73L Can you please add a <script> tag for the not-an-api/libraries/bignumber/bignumber.js file in all of the challenge html files?

[BeepBot99]

Done.

Do you still need me to do this?

[BeepBot99]

Yes.

[BeepBot99]

Make sure it is in the head.

[Mesure73L]

Why does it need to be in the head? Should I put it in the head with defer or not?

[BeepBot99]

No, it is a library. No defer because it does not need to run any code immediately, only when the JavaScript calls it.

[Mesure73L]

Done.
