      LMath: A/B

      Divides numeric input A by numeric input B and returns the quotient

      Purpose

      Use this function to:
      • Calculate quotients
      • Divide one number by another

      Return Value

      PropertyValue
      FieldTypeInteger
      FieldSizeLow / Med / High / Continuous
      DataTypeDiscrete / Continuous
      DataSizeShort / Integer
      Example Return Value: X*...-X*

e.g.  20, 98754654, -5, -654
      Dividing by zero or null
      • Dividing by zero will produce a null
      • Dividing by null will produce a null

      Parameters

      ParameterJSONDescription
      Table“targetTable”: “MyTableName”The target table on which the new field will be created
      Filter“dataset”: {DataSet_JSON}Optional.   If a filter is applied, records not in the filter recordset will be returned as null.
      Math Function“p1”: “A/B”A/B
      A“p2”: “NumericFieldName”
      “p2”: ““#N*.N*”       		Required.  The numerator.  Accepts Integer or Double.
      Supports:  
      • DataType: Discrete / Continuous
      • Field Type: Integer, Double
      • Fixed Value:  #N*    e.g. #201596,    #-87
      • Fixed Value: #N*.N* e.g. #201596.05,    #-87.98
      B“p3”: “NumericFieldName”
      “p3”: “#N*.N*”      		Required.  The denominator. Accepts Integer or Double.
      Supports:  
      • DataType: Discrete / Continuous
      • Field Type: Integer, Double
      • Fixed Value:  #N*    e.g. #201596,    #-87
      • Fixed Value: #N*.N* e.g. #201596.05,    #-87.98
      Treat Null as Zero"nullIsZero": true
      "nullIsZero": false

      		True/False.
      Default = False
      If true, then any null values in the input fields will be treated as if they have a value of 0.

      JSON Sample

      {
  "method": "BuildBakedField",
  "project": "BikeData",
  "targetTable": "worldcities",
  "overwrite": true,
  "name": "lat_over_long",
  "function": "lmath",
  "p1": "A/B",
  "p2": "lat",
  "p3": "lng"
}


      Usage Notes

      A/B (DMATH) returns a decimal (i.e., quotient + remainder), A/B (LMATH) returns an integer (i.e., quotient)
