@aayush0325 Thanks for working on this. Can you please update both JS and C benchmarks to pre-compute the values, outside the loop?

[aayush0325]

got it, pushing soon.

good evening @gunjjoshi, this branch has been rebased to make use of STDLIB_CONSTANT_FLOAT32_MAX_SAFE_NTH_LUCAS macros in js and C files instead of defining them as a variable, can you please give this a look.

[gunjjoshi]

@aayush0325 Can you update this file to use @stdlib/random/array/uniform to generate random numbers beforehand, instead of using @stdlib/random/base/randu?

Suggested change

	> Compute the nth [Lucas number][lucas-number] in single-precision floating-point format.
	> Compute the nth [Lucas number][lucas-number] in single-precision floating-point format.

@aayush0325 Can you update this here and everywhere else in this PR, to use:

Compute/Computes the nth [Lucas number][lucas-number] as a single-precision floating-point number.

[aayush0325]

good afternoon @gunjjoshi. I've pushed the requested changes. However a linting error was stopping me from updating the description in lib/index.js to "Compute/Computes the nth Lucas number as a single-precision floating-point number." Please let me know how to proceed here.

[gunjjoshi]

@aayush0325 You don't have to use Compute/Computes everywhere. What I was trying to say was,
For files such as index.js, package.json, etc. we should use:

Compute the nth Lucas number as a single-precision floating-point number.

while, for the rest files, we should use:

Computes the nth Lucas number as a single-precision floating-point number.

[aayush0325]

Ah, my bad. pushing the needed changes soon.

[aayush0325]

Pushed, sorry for the misunderstanding.

[aayush0325]

I don't get why this is failing the linting tests this seems to run fine locally on the dev container @gunjjoshi
