Which syntactic construction allows for a mathematical order of computation?
By default, mathematical operations in Totum are performed in the order they are written, but if you need to make a mathematical expression, then:
=: math`$A / ($B + $C)`
A: 10
B: 4
C: 6
// Result: 1
How are brackets handled in math?
As in mathematical notation, operations within parentheses are performed first, followed by operations outside the parentheses in the mathematical order: exponents, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction.
Is it possible to use math to reference other lines of code?
Yes, any references allowed in Totum-code:
$ — a line of code.
# — a cell value.
$# — a variable within the code.
#$ — a cell value defined by the code.
$$ — calls a line of code defined by another code. An elegant way of branching!
@ — reference to non-string fields in other tables.
Can math be used directly in a function?
Yes.
=: if(condition: math`$A4 + $B4 / 2` = 15; then: true; else: false)
A4: 10
B4: 10
// Result: true
