EXAMPLE - Numeric Functions
This example demonstrates how to use numeric functions to perform computations in your recipe steps.
Functions:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
ADD Function | Returns the value of summing the first argument and the second argument. Equivalent to the |
MOD Function | Returns the modulo value, which is the remainder of dividing the first argument by the second argument. Equivalent to the |
NEGATE Function | Returns the opposite of the value that is the first argument. Equivalent to the |
SUBTRACT Function | Returns the value of subtracting the second argument from the first argument. Equivalent to the |
MULTIPLY Function | Returns the value of multiplying the first argument by the second argument. Equivalent to the |
DIVIDE Function | Returns the value of dividing the first argument by the second argument. Equivalent to the |
LCM Function | Returns the least common multiple shared by the first and second arguments. |
