Mathematical operations in ScriptCode

Mathematical operations in ScriptCode

It is recommended that all mathematical operations in scriptCode be performed through the object BigDecimal.

BigDecimal

Creating an object

var value = BigDecimal.valueOf("10.1000"); // Recommended

Object BigDecimal is immutable. Operations such as add() do not change the value, they require assigning the result to a variable.

Mathematical operations

Addition

let value = BigDecimal.valueOf("1");
value = value.add("5"); // 1 + 5 = 6

Subtraction

let value = BigDecimal.valueOf("100");
value = value.subtract("5"); // 100 - 5 = 95

Division

let value = BigDecimal.valueOf("100");
value = value.divide("10"); // 100 / 10 = 10
value = value.divide("3", 5, RoundingMode.UP); // 10 / 3 = 3.33334

Multiplication

let value = BigDecimal.valueOf("1");
value = value.multiply("20"); // 1 * 20 = 20

Setting the scale

value = BigDecimal.valueOf("10.1000");
value = value.setScale(2); // = 10.10
value = value.setScale(1, RoundingMode.HALF_UP); // = 10.1

Comparison and equality

value.equals("10"); // false
value.compareTo("5"); // 1

DecimalFormat

Class for formatting decimal numbers in different languages. Documentation: DecimalFormat (Java)

Example

let decimalFormatPL = DecimalFormat.of("#.#", DecimalFormatSymbols.PL);
decimalFormatPL.format(BigDecimal.valueOf("34.567")); // 34,6

Patterns

Symbol	Meaning
0	Placeholder for a digit
#	Placeholder for a digit (0 omitted)
,	Decimal separator
%	Multiplies by 100 and displays as a percent
E	Scientific notation

---

Rounding numbers (RoundingMode)

Mode	Description
HALF_UP	Rounds up if the fractional part ≥ 0.5
CEILING	Always up to the nearest integer
DOWN	Always down
FLOOR	Down to the nearest integer
HALF_DOWN	Down if < 0.5
HALF_EVEN	Bankers' rounding (to the even number)

---

Preferred result scales

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/math/BigDecimal.html

Operation	Result scale
Add	max(addend.scale(), augend.scale())
Subtract	max(minuend.scale(), subtrahend.scale())
Multiply	multiplier.scale() + multiplicand.scale()
Divide	dividend.scale() - divisor.scale()
Square root	radicand.scale()/2

Random

Generating UUID identifiers (version 4):

function callService(context) {
  return [{ 'output': Random.uuid() }];
}
