Decimal

In this section, wherever the syntax includes <Number>, either Integer or Decimal data types may be used.

Corticon.js's Decimal attribute operators are as follows:

	Name and Syntax	Returns	Description
Equals (used as a comparison)
	<Number1> = <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is the same as <Number2>.
Equals (used as an assignment)
	<Number1> = <Number2>	Number	Assigns the value of <Number2> to the value of <Number1>.
Not Equal To
	<Number1> <> <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is not equal to <Number2>.
Less than
	<Number1> < <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is less than <Number2>.
Greater than
	<Number1> > <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is greater than <Number2>.
Less than or Equal to
	<Number1> <= <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is less than or equal to <Number2>.
Greater than or Equal to
	<Number1> >= <Number2>	Boolean	Returns a value of true if <Number1> is greater than or equal to <Number2>.
In (Range)
	attributeReference in [ |(rangeExpression)|]	Boolean	Returns a value of true if attributeReference is in the range of Decimal values from..to, and where opening and closing parentheses ( )indicate exclusion of that limit and square brackets [ ] indicate inclusion of that limit.
In (List)
	attributeReference in {listExpression}	Boolean	Returns a value of true if attributeReference is in the comma-delimited list of literal values, defined enumeration values, or - if in use - enumeration labels.
Add
	<Number1> + <Number2>	Number	Returns the sum of <Number1> and <Number2>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of either <Number1> or <Number2>. For example, if an Integer value is added to a Decimal value, the resulting value will be a Decimal. See Precedence of rule operators.
Subtract
	<Number1> - <Number2>	Number	Subtracts <Number2> from <Number1>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of either <Number1> or <Number2>. See Precedence of rule operators.
Multiply
	<Number1> * <Number2>	Number	Returns the product of <Number1> and <Number2>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of either <Number1> or <Number2>. See Precedence of rule operators.
Divide
	<Number1> / <Number2>	Number	Divides <Number1> by <Number2>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of either <Number1> or <Number2>. See Precedence of rule operators.
Exponent
	<Number1> ** <Number2>	Number	Raises <Number1> to the power of <Number2>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of either <Number1> or <Number2>. See Precedence of rule operators.
Absolute Value
	<Decimal>.absVal	Decimal	Returns the absolute value of <Number>. If the <Number> is positive, <Number> itself is returned; if <Number> is negative, the negation of <Number> is returned.
Floor
	<Decimal>.floor	Integer	Returns a new Decimal whose value is the value of this Decimal rounded to a whole number in the direction of negative infinity.
Ceiling
	<Decimal>.ceiling	Integer	Returns a new Decimal whose value is the value of this Decimal rounded to a whole number in the direction of positive infinity.
Round
	<Decimal>.round	Decimal	Rounds <Decimal> to the nearest Integer.
Round(n)
	<Decimal>.round(<decimalDigits<Integer>>)	Decimal	Returns <Decimal> rounded to the number of decimal places specified by decimalDigits. Rounds toward the nearest neighbor; where equivalent, rounds toward infinity.
Round(n)
	<Decimal>.round(<decimalDigits<Integer>>,mode:<integer)	Decimal	Returns <Decimal> rounded to the number of decimal places specified by decimalDigits. See details page for information about mode.
Maximum Value
	<Decimal>.max(<Number>)	Number	Returns the greater of <Decimal> and <Number>.
Minimum Value
	<Decimal>.min(<Number>)	Number	Returns the lesser of <Decimal> and <Number>.
Logarithm (base 10)
	<Decimal>.log	Decimal	Returns the logarithm (base 10) of <Decimal>. <Decimal> may not be zero.
Logarithm (base x)
	<Decimal1>.log(<Decimal2>)	Decimal	Returns the logarithm (base <Decimal2>) of <Decimal1>. <Decimal1> may not be zero.
Natural Logarithm
	<Decimal>.ln	Decimal	Returns the logarithm (base e) of <Decimal>.<Decimal> may not be zero.
Random
	<Decimal>.random(minRange, maxRange)	Decimal	Returns a random decimal between minRange and maxRange.
Truncate
	<Decimal>.truncate	Integer	Truncates "this" Decimal value to an integer by removing the fractional portion.
