Calculate mathematical expression

Performs a calculation using operators, such as multiplication (*), division (/), subtraction (-), addition (+), etc. Full list of supported operators is found below.

Please note that the expression would be solved in order of operations (i.e. BEDMAS or PEMDAS).

Common use cases

Inputs (what you have)

NAME	DESCRIPTION	TYPE	REQUIRED	EXAMPLE
Expression to solve	The expression to be solved. Expression does not support algebraic characters.See full list of supported operators in the section below.	Text	Yes	2*(4+6)

Note: the value of inputs can either be a set value in the configuration of the Wrk Action within the Wrkflow, or a variable from the Data library section. These variables in the Data library section are the outputs of previous Wrk Actions in the Wrkflow.

Outputs (what you get)

NAME	DESCRIPTION	TYPE	REQUIRED	EXAMPLE
Expression result	The value of the expression	Number	Yes	20.8

Outcomes

NAME	DESCRIPTION
Success	This status is selected when the expression was successfully solved.
Unsuccessful	This status is selected in the event of the following scenarios:- Expression to solve contains operators other than , /, -, + ,*, //, and %- Expression contains letters- Expression starts with an operator other than subtraction (-)

Supported Operators

* multiplication

/ division

- subtraction

+ addition

** power of exponent, e.g. 5**2=25

// integer division, also known as "floor division" , e.g. 5//2=2

% modulus division, e.g. 5%2=1

Note: A value that appears as None should be considered as zero(0)

Examples

For expressions like 5 + 2 , the result is 7.

For expressions like 2 ** 8 - 20*8/3 the result is 202.67.

For expressions like 2 * (4 + 3) result is 14.
