Mathematical Operators

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

The symbolic math operators allowed in order of precedence are:

 

^Exponentiation
*Multiplication
/Division
+Addition
-Subtraction

 

You can alter the order of evaluation by nesting expressions in parentheses.

 

Mathematical operators for strings (A type fields):

 

+Concatenate two strings together.
*Will trim the trailing spaces of the first field before concatenating the strings together.
<<Will Concatenate a number and a string(A type fields) and trim the leading spaces of the second field. (New since ver 7.2 build 1)

 

EXAMPLES

 

3 ^ 2 = 9

 

3 * 2 = 6

 

4 / 2 = 2

 

3 + 2 = 5

 

3 - 2 = 1

 

3 + 2 * 1 + 4 = 9

 

(3 + 2) * (1 + 4) = 25

 

'ABCD    ' + 'EFG' = 'ABCD    EFG'

 

'ABCD    ' * 'EFG' = 'ABCDEFG'

 

'This is a number '+100 <<' End of Comment' = 'This is a number 100 End of Comment'
