Mathematical Operators

All mathematical expressions should be enclosed in parentheses if it is uncertain how the precedence will be applied.

+

result = ( expression1 + expression2 )

Sums two variables.

-

result = ( expression1 - expression2 )

Finds the difference between two numbers.

*

result = ( expression1 * expression2 )

Multiplies two numbers.

/

result = ( expression1 / expression2 )

Divides two numbers.

^

result = ( expression1 ^  expression2 )

Raises expression1 to the power of an expression2. The result is always floating.

mod or %

result = ( expression1 mod  expression2 )

Divides the value of one expression by the value of another, and returns the remainder. The left and right expressions can be floating or integer. The results will be float or int depending on the values used.

example: dayOfWeek = instrument.julianDate mod 7

Boolean Operators

These operators can be enclosed in parentheses like a mathematical expression to force evaluation in a certain order.

IF ( ( a = 1 ) AND ( b > 5 ) ) OR ( ( a = 2 ) AND ( b < 6 ) AND ( NOT c ) ) THEN

or

expression1 or  expression2

Performs a logical disjunction on two expressions. The result is always an integer.

and

expression1 and  expression2

Performs a logical conjunction on two expressions. The result is always an integer.

not

not  expression

Performs logical negation on an expression. The result is always an integer.
