Tutorial
You may do standard arithmetic operations in a document,
ending the operation with an equals sign, for example:
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:
And define a formula: area = height x width
To obtain the result of the formula, press <F5>:
<F5> also updates the result of the area below,
after one of the values is modified: height = 25
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 =
