Operator

Operators are used in Formulas.

Note: As of April 2012 evaluation of Formulas is only at alpha-stage (still under development) in the panSL Implementations AgoRapide and MyLittleDatabase.
Operators are evaluated from left to right only.
Operator precedence is not supported at the moment, that is

2 + 3 * 4

evaluates to 20 not 14 (in other words multiplication and division is not done before addition and subtraction)
Use parantheses to correct this, that is use

2 + (3 * 4)

if a result of 14 is desired.

Field name	Description
Addition	The Addition-operator + may be used on both strings and numbers. number1 + number2 string1 + string2 Example: 2 + 2 results in 4. "2" + "2" results in "22". Behaviour when adding a number and a string is not currently defined. The StringFunction Concat may be used instead of Addition to ensure string-concatenation in such cases.
Division	number1 / number2 Example: 5 / 2 results in 2.5.
IsEqualTo	number1 = number2 Example: 5 = 5 results in "true". 5 = 2 results in "false". For strings the function string1.Equals(string2) may be used. See also function If and IfNot.
IsGreaterThan	number1 > number2 Example: 5 > 2 results in "true". 5 > 5 results in "false". See also function If and IfNot.
IsLessThan	number1 < number2 Example: 2 < 5 results in "true". 2 < 2 results in "false". See also function If and IfNot.
Multiplication	number1 * number2 Example: *5 2** results in 10.
Subtraction	number1 - number2 Example: 5 - 2 results in 3.
