Mathematical Functions

Description

The following mathematical functions can be used to determine the value of a business figure. The arguments of the functions can themselves be values of other business figures.

Using this Function

Syntax

In the Control File, mathematical functions can be called up as follows:

CODE

[account] = mathematical function (value)
[account] = mathematical function ([referenceAccount])

Parameters

`[account]`

Business figure for which the value should be calculated.
This must be contained in the following input data: Input Files | Financial-Data

`mathematical function`

Denotes one of the following functions:

Name	Function
sin	sine
cos	cosine
tan	tangent
asin	arc sine
acos	arc cosine
atan	arc tangent
sqrt	square root
exp	exponential function
ln	natural logarithm
log	logarithm to base 10
log2	logarithm to base 2

`value`

Denotes the value that is to be used as an argument in the mathematical function.

`[referenceAccount]`

Denotes a business figure of which the value is to be used as an argument in the mathematical function.
This must be contained in the following input data: Input Files | Financial-Data

Examples

Example 1

CODE

[80000] = sqrt(25)

new value of the business figure [80000]: 5.00

Example 2

CODE

[80000] = cos([500])

value of the business figure [500]: 0.00
new value of the business figure [80000]: 1.00

Example 3

CODE

[80000] = exp(ln(10))

new value of the business figure [80000]: 10.00
