Aha! I read calculate.js more carefully and found that option (1) from my previous post works if you just add the constant name (in upper- and lower-case for convenience) to noconst:
// chop out variables var noconst = t.replace(/\b(PI|E|LOG2E|LOG10E|LN2|LN10|SQRT2|SQRT1_2|pi|phi|PHI)\b/g, "_"); Apologies for pointless traffic... Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Golding Sent: 19 May 2004 19:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DQSD-Users] adding mathematical constants Hi all, I'd like to add new mathematical constants to DQSD so I can (for example) involve the golden ratio in a calculation by typing something like: 350*phi I tried four approaches - resulting in three failures and one near-success: (1) Appending the following to calculate.js didn't work: phi = 1.618033988749894; (2) Forcing the calculation in calculate.js didn't work either (unsuprisingly): phi = (Math.sqrt(5)+1)/2; (3) Appending the following to calcmem.txt didn't work: phi number 1.618033988749894 (4) But appending a *single* character constant to calcmem.txt works: p number 1.61803399 I wonder if I might be missing something obvious. Is it possible to have (easily) customisable multicharacter constants?
