    Mathematical functions

    abs

    integer abs( integer arg );
    long abs( long arg );
    number abs( number arg );
    decimal abs( decimal arg );

    The abs() function returns the absolute value of a given argument of numeric data type (integer, long, number, or decimal).

    If the given argument is null, the function fails with an error.

    The abs() function behaves in the same way as the abs() function in Java or C/C++.

    For the minimal integer, it returns minimal integer value: abs(-2147483648) returns -2147483648.

    For the minimal long, it returns minimal long value: abs(-9223372036854775808L) returns -9223372036854775808

    If the index is greater than the number of bits in the data type, functions bitIsSet(integer, integer) and bitIsSet(long, integer) return false.

    For example, bitIsSet(11,3) returns true. As decimal 11 can be expressed as bitwise 1011, the bit whose index is 3 (the fourth from the right) is 1, thus the result is true. And bitIsSet(11,2) would return false.

    If one of the given arguments is null, the function fails with an error.

    Compatibility

    The new bits added to the number on the right side are set to 0. (Shift number of bits on the left side are added and set to 0.) For example, bitLShift(11,2) returns 44. As decimal 11 can be expressed as bitwise 1011, thus the two bits on the right side (00) are added and the result is 101100 which corresponds to decimal 44.

    If one of the argument is long, the function returns the long data type.

    If one of the argument is null, the function fails with an error.

    round

    decimal round( decimal arg );

    integer round( integer arg, integer precision );
    long round( long arg, integer precision );
    number round( number arg, integer precision );
    decimal round( decimal arg, integer precision );

    The round() function returns a rounded value using the "half up" rounding mode: if both neighbors are equidistant, rounds up.

    Positive precision denotes the number of places after the decimal point and negative precision stands for the number of places before the decimal point. Therefore it only makes sense to use negative precision for integer and long data type arguments, since it signals to round to tens, hundreds, thousands and so on. So round(123, -2) will result in 100 and round(123.123, 2) will result in 123.12.

    If the parameter precision is missing, the function rounds to nearest integer value.

    If the given argument is null, the function fails with an error.

    See also roundHalfToEven(decimal, integer).
