Description
The Add$ function adds two strings representing floating point numbers.
Usage
As only integers are supported numbers in WinTask, calculation on floating point numbers is done using their string representation.
Syntax
res$=ADD$(a$,b$[,rc])
Parameters
a$, b$ are the strings representing the two floating numbers to add.
rc, optional numeric return code.
Values are:
- 0 if successful operation
- 1 invalid operation because parameters are incorrect (for instance, the string can’t be considered as a number)
- 2 if operation causes overflow
Return Value
rcs$, string representing a$ + b$.
Examples
Add$("13.56","145.789") 'gives "159.35"
Add$("-45.678","34.8976") 'gives "-10.78"
#Precision=3
Add$("567.34257","45.343") 'gives "612.686"
