Advanced Operations​

This table lists the advanced operations you can invoke using NetScript:

floor(number)​

This function rounds the number down to the nearest integer.

Function: floor(number)

Data Type: number

Example:

floor(17.36)

23.5
20

 

truncate(number[, N])​

This function rounds the number down to the given precision (N), which is 0 by default.

Function: truncate(number[, <N>])

Data Type: number

Example:

truncate(23.45)
truncate(23.45, 0)
truncate(23.45, 1)
truncate(23.45, -1)
Result:
23
23
23.4
20

 

sqrt(number)​

This function returns the square root (full-precision decimal) of the input.

Function: sqrt(number)

Data Type: number

Example:

sqrt(64)
Result:
8

 

least(number(, number)*)​
