| - | The //%Calculate%1+2%// token returns the result of performing a calculation. | + | {{:token:calculator-icon.png |}}===== Calculate Token ===== |
| - | This allows you to include any [function](:Functions) in a text field. | + | 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 Variable which may be evaluated as a number, like\\ `(MyVarWordsPerSec * 60)/MyVarWordsPerPage` would yield the number of pages per minute | ||
| + | * 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]`\\ "`10,05,12,08`" returns "`5`" \\ (Arrays may contain only numeric data) | ||
| - | Remember that within a calculation you can use variables unadorned (eg //%Calculate%3 * Count + 2%//). So for a variable “Count” that has a numerical value, these two are roughly equivalent in a text field: | + | A reminder that the following are only equivalent if the Variable is numeric: |
| * [%Variable%Count%](Variable) | * [%Variable%Count%](Variable) | ||
| * %Calculate%Count% | * %Calculate%Count% | ||
| - | A notable different would be if the variable had a value like “1.230”. Then the result of the //%Calculate%// would be “1.23”. | + | So, if MyVar is "`005`", then\\ |
| + | * %Variable%MyVar% will return `005` | ||
| + | * %Calculate%MyVar% will return `5` | ||
