texte = Dear PCS,I the past I asked about a function that raises something to the power of, as in:6^10 or 6 to the power of 10.This function was not in the Webcat docs.The above function is very helpful when programming complex interest rate calculations. I realized from my experience, and the current thread below, that there is probably a more complete set of math functions lurking in Webcat's code.As someone on the list said recently, they are helpful in programming. Any chance we could encourage those math functions lurking in the background to come forth? So far we have: ^ raises to the power of, 6^10 or 6 to the power of 10 % converts the decimal remainder from division into an integer (?)RH Prouty rhp@BristolCapital.com---------->Oh, that's right, it's not in the docs.... I came across it by accident >(someone who knew knew some C language mentioned it). >Basically, its the remainder in a division problem. So: > >4%6=2 (4 divided by 6 equals 1 remainer 2) >100%10=0 >13%12=1 >19%20=19 > >That's the best I can explain it.
