Where do I find how to add 2 variables together?
|
Hi, Im trying to figure out how to add variable1+variable2, and output the total. Where can I find how to do this? I find the "tutorial" and help files very hard to navigate

It may be hard to find in the help files because it is so trivial. The way to add the values of variables is: (@variable1 + @variable2)
So you can do something like:
$total = (@variable1 + @variable2)
#SHOW $total
You can probably even just do:
#SHOW (@variable1 + @variable2)
Basically, simply putting a mathematical expression within parentheses causes it to be treated as a mathematical expression. No need for the obsolete #MATH function from Zmud. |

Thats what I originally figured, but tried
Var1/var2 in a guage and instead got a/b as the output |

Did you put parentheses around it?

Thanks, it was the parentheses I overlooked.
