JS challenge

Implement Point so that:

new Point( new Point(10, 20) + new Point(30, 50) ).toString() === '{40,70}'

Must be generic and be able to handle x and y values from 0..999 (integers only)

Minor hint: you'll need to implement valueOf and toString methods.

Yaay :) Thanks for the exercise.

It would've been great if we could override operators in JS. Oh, well :)

@azproduction, @mmorton, @tsvetomir, nice work! Three really different and cool techniques! :)

@davidaurelio, cool!

So, so far we have two string-based solutions and two numerical. The string-based solutions theoretically allow floating-points with decimals while the numerical ones allow general arithmetic operators.

Another solution using two 16bit fixed point numbers. Has problems with overflow, though: https://gist.github.com/3135390
