===== Calculate Token =====

The //%Calculate%//**<formula>**//%// [[:Tokens|token]] returns the **numeric** result of performing a calculation,
where //**`<formula>`**// may be any of the following:
  * Mathematical formula like `(2 + 3)*12`
  * Use any [[token:Variable|Variable]] which may be evaluated as a number
    * :!:  Just enter the Variable Name (without the `%`) in the Calculate token **`<formula>`**
    * Examples:
      * `%Calculate%MyVar + 1%`
      * `%Calculate%(MyVarWordsPerSec * 60)/MyVarWordsPerPage%`
  * Use any of the built-in Keyboard Maestro [functions](:Functions), like [[function:RANDOM|RANDOM(10)]]
  * Get the numeric value of an Variable array element, like `MyVar[2]`, if MyVar is `10,05,12,08` returns `5` (Arrays may contain only numeric data)

The //%Hex2%// token (v8+) returns the value in Hex format, padded with zeros to two digits.  "2" is just an example, you can use //%Hex8%// for example.

The //%Dec2%// token (v8+) returns the value in decimal format, padded with zeros to two digits (similarly //%Dec5%// to five digits, etc).

The //%Oct3%// token (v8+) returns the value in octal format, padded with zeros to three digits (similarly //% Oct5%// to five digits, etc).

The //%Bin8%// token (v8+) returns the value in binary format, padded with zeros to eight digits (similarly //% Bin16%// to 16 digits digits, etc).

**Example Action**

{{:token:km-7.3-calculate-token-example.png?nolink|}}

A reminder that the following are only equivalent if the [[token:Variable|Variable]] is numeric:

* %Variable%Count% (Variable)
* %Calculate%Count% (Number)

So, if MyVar is "`005`", then\\  
  * %Variable%MyVar% will return `005`
  * %Calculate%MyVar% will return `5`
