Description

Example

1)

ceil

It is used to round up the number to next highest integer.

ceil(0.7) it round the number to:1

2)

floor

It is used to round down the number to next lowest integer.

floor(5.3) it round the number to:5

3)

percentage

It is used to transform the floating point number to percentage string.

percentage(0.5): it is equivalent to 50%.

4)

round

It is used to round a floating point number.

round(4.77): it converts the number to the rounding value as:5

5)

sqrt

It is used to get the square root of a number.

sqrt(36): it defines the square root of the number as: 6

6)

abs

It is used to get the absolute value of a number.

abs(30ft): it displays the absolute value as: 30ft

7)

sin

It is used to get radian on numbers.

sin(2): it calculates the sine value as: 0.90929742682

8)

asin

it is used to return arcsine (inverse of sine) of a number which returns value between -pi/2 and pi/2.

pi(): it determines the pi value as: 3.141592653589793

14)

pow

It is used to get the value of first argument raised to the power of second argument.

pow(3,3): it specifies the power value as: 27

15)

mod

It is used to get modulus of first argument with respect to the second argument. it also handles negative and floating point numbers.

mod(7,3): it returns the modulus value as: 1

16)

min

It is used to get the smallest value of one or more arguments.

min(70,40,55,10): it returns the minimum value as: 10

17)

max

It is used to get the highest value of one or more arguments.

max(70,40,55,10): it returns the maximum value as: 70
