Math Examples

Example 1. Retrieving the larger of two values.

// Fragment #1

local.vLargerValue = local.vValue1

IF(local.vValue2 > local.vValue1)

{

local.vLargerValue = local.vValue2

}

// Fragment #2

local.vLargerValue = Math.Max(local.vValue1, local.vValue2)

Note:

local.vLargerValue – the variable calculated to be the larger of local variables vValue1 and vValue2.

Fragment #2 will yield exactly the same result as Fragment #1.

// Fragment #1

local.vAbsValue = local.vValue

IF(local.vValue < 0)

{

local.vAbsValue = 0 - local.vValue

}

// Fragment #2

local.vAbsValue = Math.Abs(local.vValue)

Note:

local.vAbsValue – the variable calculated to be the positive value of local.Value.

Fragment #2 will yield exactly the same result as Fragment #1.

local.vStr = "";

local.vInt = 0;

WHILE(local.vInt < 10)

{

local.vStr = local.vStr & Math.Power(2, local.vInt) & ", ";

local.vInt = local.vInt + 1;

}

edtOutput = local.vStr;

Will produce the output "1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 8.00, 16.00, 32.00, 64.00, 128.00, 256.00, 512.00, " in output edit control.
