unicorn/prefer-math-trunc Pedantic

What it does

Prefers use of Math.trunc() instead of bitwise operations for clarity and more reliable results.

It prevents the use of the following bitwise operations:

• x | 0 (bitwise OR with 0)
• ~~x (two bitwise NOT)
• x >> 0 (Signed Right Shift with 0)
• x << 0 (Left Shift with 0)
• x ^ 0 (bitwise XOR Shift with 0)

Why is this bad?

Using bitwise operations to truncate numbers is not clear and do not work in some cases.

Examples
