money.allocate
Split an amount across ratios without losing or inventing a single minor unit.
1.0.0 (not the latest) · published 2026-10-03 by charlie · Anterra
Pinned by 7 tests, run in TypeScript, Python and Rust · fewer than the registry now requires. 1.0.1 adds them.
What it does
Splitting 10.00 three ways gives 3.34, 3.33, 3.33 - never 3.33 three times with a penny quietly lost, and never 3.34 three times with a penny invented.
The leftover is distributed by largest remainder, ties broken by position, so the same input always produces the same split in every language.
For example
allocate(£10.00, 1, 1, 1)→ £3.34, £3.33, £3.33 ten pounds three ways keeps the pennyallocate(£5.00, 3, 7)→ £1.50, £3.50 exact split needs no remainderallocate(£100.00, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)→ £16.67, £16.67, £16.67, £16.67, £16.66, £16.66 weighted split distributes by largest remainder
The function
The same function in TypeScript, Python and Rust, pinned by the same tests. Pick your language; the choice follows you around the registry.
export function allocate(amount: Money, ratios: readonly number[]): readonly Money[]
| amount | Money | |
| ratios | int[] | relative weights; [1,1,1] is an even three-way split |
| returns | Money[] |
Your code names it in one line, in the file that uses it

fune build
With that line in your source, in a TypeScript project (language typescript in fune.project), fune build resolves it and its 1 dependency, pins them in fune.lock, downloads only the TypeScript package of each, and builds the code above into your project’s .fune/build, one readable file per capability with a header linking back here. Or pin a range in fune.project and build in one step:
fune add money.allocate
The manifest, vectors and README with only the TypeScript implementation. Install it without the registry with fune add ./money.allocate-1.0.0-typescript.fune, or fetch it from a terminal with fune pull money.allocate@1.0.0:typescript.
The whole function, every language, is one file too: money.allocate-1.0.0.fune, 8,253 bytes, sha256 94885a2d1582976c8f966a662a880b69d40bf0c991ab03766ae6d08d096b2655. It installs into a project of any language.
Customise it in your app
The seams this capability offers. Put a marker directly above a function of your own and fune build wires it into the built code; the package on the registry is not changed, the built file’s header lists it under CUSTOMISED, and fune hooks lists every hook in the project. How hooks work.
before — your function gets the arguments and returns them, changed or not, or throws to refuse the call.
// fune: before money.allocate
after — your function gets the result and the arguments, and returns the final result.
// fune: after money.allocate
replace — inside this capability’s code only, calls to a dependency go to your function, with the same signature. Other capabilities that use it are unaffected; write in * to replace it everywhere.
// fune: replace money.amount in money.allocate
step — your function runs at a numbered point inside the function’s body, receives the in-scope values it names as parameters, and may return replacements. List the points with fune show money.allocate --steps.
// fune: step money.allocate after <n|label>
Tests
A version published now needs at least 8 tests for every function, and one that expects the error for each function that throws; the registry refuses it otherwise. fune verify --all runs each case in TypeScript, Python and Rust, and a project runs them again with fune verify. This page lists the cases; it does not run them. The exact JSON is vectors.json.
This version has fewer tests than the registry now requires. It was published before every function had to have 8. 1.0.1 meets it, and a project on ^1.0.0 installs that or newer.
- allocate has 7 tests; every function needs at least 8. Add 1 more to vectors.json: the ordinary case, the boundaries (zero, negative, the largest values), the rounding edge and every error it documents
| Case | Arguments | Expected | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ten pounds three ways keeps the penny | £10.00, 1, 1, 1 | → | £3.34, £3.33, £3.33 |
| exact split needs no remainder | £5.00, 3, 7 | → | £1.50, £3.50 |
| weighted split distributes by largest remainder | £100.00, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 | → | £16.67, £16.67, £16.67, £16.67, £16.66, £16.66 |
| credit notes split without inventing money | -£10.00, 1, 1, 1 | → | -£3.33, -£3.33, -£3.34 |
| single share takes everything | £9.99, 1 | → | £9.99 |
| zero ratios are an error | £1.00, 0, 0 | → | error: ratios must not sum to zero |
| empty ratios are an error | £1.00, | → | error: at least one ratio |
