Small global for mathematical function
Hello,

i need a small global that perform this mathematical function:

- I have a number A (e.g. 7488)
- I have a number B (e.g. 1000)
- I need two numbers C and D:
- the number C is from this operation: A / B = 7,488 without comma-numbers, result is "7"
- the number D is: A (7488) - ( C (7) * B (10) ), result is "488"

How can i get this seperate two numbers in a small global?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Try;

Code:
sub {

my $aa = $_[0];
my $bb = $_[1];

my $cc = $aa / $bb;
my $dd = $aa - ($cc * $bb);

return { aa => $aa, bb => $bb, cc => $cc, dd => $dd }

}

Call with;

<%global_name(A,B)%> (where A or B are the number, or something like $FieldName).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi,

You can just use;

<%aa%>, <%bb%>, <%cc%> and <%dd%> .. to their respective values =)

i.e;

<%global_name(A,B)%>
A = <%aa%>
B = <%bb%>
C = <%cc%>
D = <%dd%>

Wink

Hey Andy,

i use your global this way:
<%globalname(7488,1000)%>
And get as result for
cc = 7.488 (but it should be "7") and for
dd = 0 (should be 4.88)

What should i do wrong?

Greetings,

Coyu

I think you can use the sprintf to format the number before the return. Somthing like below should work

$cc = sprintf("%.0f",$cc);
$dd = sprintf("%.2f",$dd);

I think we can use the int function for that. For example, $cc = int ($aa/$bb);

Is that what you want?
