Math

[ep12]

Currently, increment, decrement and assignment are the only possible math operations. It might be somehow inconvenient that way to calculate roots. Especially if all the required functions have to be written in rockstar. This would be the lyrics for a day-long song...

Oh, Take {a} from {b} is not documented....

[N-Masi]

You're right in that there are no other mathematical operators documented which is a bit of an issue. I think in addition to having Take {a} from {b} for subtraction you could also have:

Addition: Put {a} with {b} e.g. Put your heart with mine

Division: Break {a} into {b} pieces e.g. Break my heart into many pieces

Multiplication: Do {a} for {b} e.g. Do anything for you

Take {a} from {b} is actually a statement rather than an expression, because it decrements the value of b by a but doesn't return anything. And you're right, it's not documented. I actually think it's a bit weird so let's add support for proper arithmetic expressions instead...

Arithmetic expressions:

• {a} plus {b} - addition. Alias with
• {a} minus {b} - subtraction. Alias without
• {a} times {b} - multiplication. Alias of
• {a} over {b} - division.

Examples:

• Put the whole of your heart into my hands - multiply your heart by the whole and assign the result to my hands

• My world is nothing without your love - Initialize my world with the result of subtracting your love from 0

• If the tears of a child is nothing - check whether the tears * a child = 0
