Math Component
Perform common math operations on numbers or lists of numbers
Component key: mathDescription
The math component implements common mathematical functions that are available in JavaScript's built-in Math library.
Actions
Absolute Value
Returns the absolute value of the input number. | key: abs
Add Numbers
Returns the result of adding the numbers | key: add
Arccosine
Returns the arccosine of the input number. | key: acos
Arcsine
Returns the arcsine of the input number. | key: asin
Arctangent
Returns the arctangent of the input number. | key: atan
Ceiling
Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the input number. | key: ceil
Cosine
Returns the cosine of the input number. | key: cos
Cube Root
Returns the cube root of the input number. | key: cbrt
Divide Numbers
Returns the result of dividing the numbers | key: divide
e^x
Returns e^x, where x is the input number, and e is Euler's constant (2.718…, the base of the natural logarithm). | key: exp
Evaluate Expression
Evaluate a mathematical expression (for example, "2 * 3 + 7") | key: evaluate
The evaluate action follows JavaScript evaluation rules. Your expression can use any JavaScript arithmetic operator and follows order of operations rules (think PEMDAS from middle school!).
For example, to express "five plus three times four to the third power", you could enter 5 + 3 * 4 ** 3.
Note that the exponent would evaluate first, giving 5 + 3 * 64.
Then, the multiplication would evaluate giving 5 + 192.
Finally, the addition would evaluate giving 197.
You can leverage input templates to concatenate several config variables, step results and numbers into a single mathematical expression:
Additionally, you can use JavaScript bitwise operators to do things like 5 << 2 and get a result of 20.
