basic #math
|
I am having a heap of trouble with #math, so any help is really appreciated.
Basically, the idea here is to take given variables x y and z and multiply them each by individual rates and sum the totals. When I do a flat #math even with correct input it doesn't seem to even result in an echo.
How do I incorporate math into my script and call the result, possibly defining a new variable based on the result? |

#MATH only exists for backwards compatibility with old zmud scripts. In cmud, doing math is as easy as enclosing your expression in parentheses. For example:
| Code: |
| variable = (@x * rate1 + @y * rate2 + @z * rate3) |
|

FYI, the #MATH command never produced an echo--it only set the value of a variable. But the newer parentheses syntax is much more convenient. In fact, if you just wanted to display the result without saving it to a variable, you can do:
| Code: |
| #SHOW (@x * rate1 + @y * rate2 + @z * rate3) |
