Real

The value derived from the function is a real value.

This table shows the commands and the related syntax used for the Real data type:

Command Syntax Examples 
NUM

The NUM command converts a boolean or a string into an integer or real value. Therefore, the command can be used here if the value read in converts into an integer. 

NUM(<value>)
 
NUM(True)=1
NUM(False)=0
NUM(<Logical expression>)=1/0

NUM("~")=numeric value of the value read in interpreted as a string 

NUM("a123bfg")=123
Operators

These operators can be used to manipulate integer values:

  • +
  • -
  • *
  • / (real division)
  • MOD(<value>) (modulo for real)
  • LOG(<value>) (inverse of EXP)
  • EXP(<value>)
  • COS(<value>) (value in radians)
  • SIN(<value>) (value in radians)
  • TAN(<value>) (value in radians)
  • ARCTAN(<value>) (value in radians)
Constants
  • Pi -- returns the Pi number (3.14159...)
  • Degree -- returns one degree expressed in radians (0.01745...)
  • Radian -- returns one radian expressed in degrees (57.29577...)
