Math Services

Use Math services to perform mathematical operations on string-based numeric values. Services that operate on integer values use Java's long data type (64-bit, two's complement). Services that operate on float values use Java's double data type (64-bit IEEE 754). If extremely precise calculations are critical to your application, you should write your own Java services to perform math functions.

Service	Description
addObjects	Adds one java.lang.Number object to another and returns the sum.
divideObjects	Divides one java.lang.Number object by another (num1/num2) and returns the quotient.
min	Returns the smallest number from a list of numbers.
multiplyObjects	Multiplies one java.lang.Number object by another and returns the product.
subtractObjects	Subtracts one java.lang.Number object from another and returns the difference.
toNumber	Converts a string to numeric data type.
absoluteValue	Returns the absolute value of the input number.
addFloatList	Adds a list of floating point numbers (represented in a string list) and returns the sum.
addFloats	Adds one floating point number (represented as a String) to another and returns the sum.
addIntList	Adds a list of integers (represented in a String list) and returns the sum.
addInts	Adds one integer (represented as a String) to another and returns the sum.
divideFloats	Divides one floating point number (represented as a String) by another (num1/num2) and returns the quotient.
divideInts	Divides one integer (represented as a String) by another (num1/num2) and returns the quotient.
max	Returns the largest number from a list of numbers.
multiplyFloatList	Multiplies a list of floating point numbers (represented in a String list) and returns the product.
multiplyFloats	Multiples one floating point number (represented as String) by another and returns the product.
multiplyIntList	Multiplies a list of integers (represented in a String list) and returns the product.
multiplyInts	Multiplies one integer (represented as a String) by another and returns the product.
randomDouble	Returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double between 0.0 and 1.0.
roundNumber	Returns a rounded number.
subtractFloats	Subtracts one floating point number (represented as a String) from another and returns the difference.
subtractInts	Subtracts one integer (represented as a String) from another and returns the difference.
