1. Functions Using a Single Argument

@ABS

Gives the absolute value of the argument. If the argument is positive, orzerò,

the same value is returned; if the argument is negative, the opposite of the

argument is returned.

@ABS(5) gives 5
@ABS{*5) gives 5

@INT

Gives the integer part of the argument. The decimal point and subsequent

decimal digits are removed without being rounded off; an integer will remain
untouched.

@INT(5) gives 5
@INT(0.9) gives 0
@INT(1.1) gives 1

©SQUARE

Gives the square of the argument. The argument multiplied by itself is

returned; the result is always a positive number.

@SQUARE{5) gives 25
@SQUARE{-5) gives 25
@SQUARE{0) gives 0

@SQRT

Gives the square root of the argument. The result multiplied by itself is equal
to the argument. The argument may not be negative.

@SQRT(25) gives 5
@SQRT(2) gives 1.41421

@SQRT(-25) is invalid

©ROUND

Rounds off the argument to the number of specified decimal places. Two data
entries are required between the parentheses: the argument itself, and a
direct number that specifies the number of decimal places. If that number is
not an integer, it is first rounded off to the closest integer.

@ROUND(1.66666,2) gives 1.67
@ROUND(1.66666,3) gives 1.667
@ROUND(1.66666,2.1) gives 1.67
@ ROUND(1.66666,2.5) gives 1.667
