OTL Syntax

NumericValue = NumericTerm1 operator NumericTerm2
NumericValue = |NumericTerm1|
NumericValue = round(NumericTerm1)
NumericValue = negate(NumericTerm1)

Description

Mathematical operators are used according to the C# notation for mathematical operations. The following operators can be used:

• +

  Plus, the result is the numerical sum of two or more operands.

• -

  Minus, the result is the numerical subtraction of the left and right operands.

• -

  Negation, the result is the negated value of the operands (E.g.: -1 or Variable1).

• *

  Multiplication, the result is the numerical multiplication of two or more operands.

• /

  Div, the result is the numerical division of the left and right operands.

• %

  Modulo, that is result of the remainder of the integer division of left and right operands (applies only to type Integer).

Return Value

The Term returns the value, see table below.

In OTX, Terms are categorized according to its return data type!

Data Type	Description
NumericValue	Return value of mathematical operation. One operand is of type float return value is float. Otherwise, the return value of the type is integer.

Properties

Add, Multiply:

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
Terms	Integer, Float	Term	-	[2..*]	The numeric operands (or summands) of the addition (Add) or the numeric term which represents the factor values (Multiply). Terms will be evaluated in the order of appearance.

Subtract, Divide, Modulo:

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
NumericTerm1	Integer, Float	Term	-	[1]	Left operand.
NumericTerm2	Integer, Float	Term	-	[1]	Right operand (Subtrahend of subtraction or Divisor of division or modulo.

AbsoluteValue, Round, Negate:

Name	Data Type	Class	Default	Cardinality	Description
NumericTerm2	Integer, Float	Term	-	[1]	The numeric term whose absolute value will be returned (AbsoluteValue). The numeric term that will be rounded to the nearest integer towards plus infinity (Round) or will be negated (Negate).

OTL Examples

Integer MyValue1;
Integer MyValue2;
Float result;

result = MyValue1 + MyValue2;
result = MyValue1% MyValue2;
result = MyValue1 / MyValue2;
