The expression using Math.floor() and Math.pow() basically multiplies the number by a power a ten (to shift the decimal to the right), then truncates the value (discarding any remaining decimal digits), and then divides by the same power of ten to shift the decimal point back to the left. The 2nd argument in Math.pow(10,16) is the number of decimal digits to retain. When I tried this on my system (Win7/Chrome), keeping 16 decimal digits seemed to work (eliminating the last, spurious digit.. and the zeros leading up to it). Try changing the 2nd argument to a lower number, until the extra digits disappear. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!

are Math.floor Math.pow ... depending of a plugin I might not have ?

Thank you Eric I slightly tuned your code I made this tiddler: [[calcTid]] $1 And I call it with: [[test]] <> it works almost fine : 24.234 I wish I could - remove the extra 4 - write litteraly 108.95-84.72=24.23 without writing twice the operation like <> Regards Julien Le lundi 3 février 2014 15:15:26 UTC+1, julien23 a écrit : > > Hi all > > Is there a way to display and (re)calculate simple operations like 108.95 > - 84.72 = 24.23 without the need of an external calculator ? > > Regards > > Julien > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

However, you *can* embed Javascript code to compute and generate output. Here's two methods: 1) http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InlineJavascriptPlugin after installing this plugin, you can embed something like: var val=108.95-84.72; return val.toString(); 2) using "evaluated parameters" and <> transclusion of a "hidden section" /% !out $1 !end %/<> enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios EVERY DONATION IS IMPORTANT!
