| - | 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 [[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) | ||
| - | 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: | + | **Example Action** |
| - | * [%Variable%Count%](Variable) | + | {{:token:km-7.3-calculate-token-example.png?nolink|}} |
| - | * %Calculate%Count% | + | |
| + | 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` | ||
| + | |||

| + | * [[Hex|%Hex%]] token | ||
| + | * [[Dec|%Dec%]] token | ||
| + | * [[Oct|%Oct%]] token | ||
| + | * [[Bin|% Bin%]] token | ||
| + | * [[/Tokens|All Tokens]] | ||
| - | A notable different would be if the variable had a value like “1.230”. Then the result of the //%Calculate%// would be “1.23”. | ||
