Example:

Result:

floor

Usage:

Returns the floor of the number or expression specified in the paraenthesis... Floor is the whole number part, without the decimals. Basically means chop the decimal portion of the number off.

Usage:

Evaluates val1 and val2 (or more values) and returns the smallest value.

Example:

echo min(city.resource.food.amount,99999999)

Result:<<BR>><<BR>>this will return whichever is smaller, 99,999,999 or the current amount of food in the city

pow

Usage:

Computes and returns base to the power of pow.

Example:

Result:

random

Usage:

Returns a pseudo-random number n, where 0 <= n < 1.

Example:<<BR>><<BR>>

echo round(random*10)

Result:

a random number between 0 and 9

round

Usage:

Rounds the value of the parameter val up or down to the nearest integer and returns the value. Optional argument to specify precision (or number of decimal places).

Example:

echo round(6.66666666666666666666) echo round(6.66666666666666666666,1) echo round(6.66666666666666666666,2) echo round(6.66666666666666666666,3)

Result:

7 6.7 6.67 6.667

sin

Usage:

Computes and returns the sine of the specified angle in radians.

Example:

Result:

sqrt

Usage:

Computes and returns the square root of the specified number.

Example:

Result:

tan

Usage:

Computes and returns the tangent of the specified angle.

Example:

Result:
