Arithmetic/Math Functions

This page outlines arithmetic/math functions in NetScript.

Basic Operations​

This section lists the basic math operations you can perform using NetScript.

number + number​

This function returns the sum of the inputs.

Function: number + number

Data Type: number

Example:

5 + 7

Result:

12

number - number​

This function returns the difference of the inputs.

Function: number - number

Data Type: number

Example:

13-10

Result:

3

number * number​

This function returns the product of the inputs.

Function: number * number

Data Type: number

Example:

7 * 8

Result:

56

number / number​

This function returns the division of the inputs.

Function: number / number

Data Type: number

Example:

84 / 4

Result:

21

number ^ number​

This function returns number1 raised to the power of number2.

Function: number1 ^ number2

Data Type: number

Example:

2 ^ 9

Result:

512

Advanced Operations​

This table lists the advanced operations you can invoke using NetScript:

abs(number)​

This function returns the absolute value of a numeric expression.

Function: abs(number)

Data Type: number

Example:

abs(-2)

Result:

2

floor(number)​

This function rounds the number down to the nearest integer.

Function: floor(number)

Data Type: number

Example:

floor(17.36)

Result:

17

round(number[, N])​

This function rounds the number to the given precision (N), which is 0 by default. Precision value can be positive or negative and indicates the number of decimal places displayed in the rounded number.

Function: round(number[, <N>])

Data Type: number

Example:

round(23.45)

round(23.45, 0)

round(23.45, 1)

round(23.45, -1)

Result:

23

23

23.5

20

truncate(number[, N])​

This function rounds the number down to the given precision (N), which is 0 by default.

Function: truncate(number[, <N>])

Data Type: number

Example:

truncate(23.45)

truncate(23.45, 0)

truncate(23.45, 1)

truncate(23.45, -1)

Result:

23

23

23.4

20

sqrt(number)​

This function returns the square root (full-precision decimal) of the input.

Function: sqrt(number)

Data Type: number

Example:

sqrt(64)

Result:

8

least(number(, number)*)​

This function returns whichever number has the smallest value.

Function: least(number(, number)*)

Data Type: number

Example:

least(7(, 23)*)

Result:

7

greatest(number(, number)*)​

This function returns whichever number has the largest value.

Function: greatest(number(, number)*)

Data Type: number

Example:

greatest(7(, 23)*)

Result:

23
