Summary of Math services

You can use the 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. The following Math services are available:

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.
