Tutorial

You may do standard arithmetic operations in a document,
ending the operation with an equals sign, for example:


5 x 3 + 1 =


Single spaces may be used between the quantities and the
operators for clarity. Two or more spaces, or a colon
delimit an operation, like here: 100 + 1 =


You may use 'x' as the multiplication symbol in most
cases, or '*' if you want.


Operations can be... (2+7)x5 = anywhere!


Press <F5> now to obtain the results of all calculations
in the document. If you go up and modify some number,
press <F5> to recalculate.


You may do standard arithmetic operations in a document,
for example, assign values to two variables:


height = 20 width = 30


And define a formula: area = height x width


To obtain the result of the formula, press <F5>:


area =


<F5> also updates the result of the area below,
after one of the values is modified: height = 25


area =


Other examples of formulas, try modifying the values of f
and c will change after updating with <F5>:


c = (f - 32) x 5 / 9


f = 212 c =
f = 100 c =
f = 70 c =
f = 32 c =
f = -40 c =
