Math on the HELP Menu

[Dimster]

I'm not sure how to work this Help feature. Selecting Math I get a box inviting a math equation but how do I actually provide that equation? I couldn't find anything on the wiki - i have tried to highlight the equation in my algorythm but so far not so good -

You just go and type it in. Its very simplistic.

I think part of the problem is that it is asking for an equation like: area = 2*pi*r

but what it really works on is a numeric expression with 0 variables like: 2*3.1415*6

and it doesn't do MOD or even tolerate a space, from my tests.

Still could be quite handy, thanks for heads up of this option, I hadn't noticed (or forgot it was there).

It should work with MOD, and spaces too.  It’s basically a single line math evaluator like CONST uses, so any functionality you have in CONST, you should have in the MATH help pop up.  ;)

OK MOD does work IF! I don't put a space between it and last number.

As soon as I hit space, it evaluates.

Thank you all - I down loaded the new version 1.3 and playing with all the options. This was the first time trying that Math help. When I encountered the (OK) and the curser flashing under it, I thought the answer to the question "Give me a Math Equation" was OK. So I kept selecting OK and getting no where. Like being in the forest and can't find a tree. - I'm sure Cobalt is still laughing but hey, some things can get too dummied down for serious programmers.

Notice that it's not a new feature in v1.3. The math box has been around since 1.0 I think.

oh just a little :D
no not really, took me a few minutes the first time to realize just what to do. I think it could use a lighter colored box or a cursor to let you know.
