What kind of coding language does this use?

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to determine which language can be used for the equations. I understand it takes Javascript. Does this also take pHp or anything else?

    I’m trying to create a calculator that would spit out different answers for different categories, based on the number enter.

    Example:
    Select trade: (70 different trades..)
    Enter Journeypersons (a number), which would then calculate the # of
    Apprentices.

    Any assistance would help. Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    The equations only use javascript code.

    I’m sorry, but I’ll need more details to help with the equation.

    Best regards.

    Thanks for getting back to my question.

    Javascript it is. That is the important part of my question.

    This would be a sample of the type of equation we would need. X being the number entered in, and Y being the output:

    Explanation:
    if x= 1-2, then y=1;
    (if ‘x’ is within the range 1-2, then ‘y’ equals 1)

    but if x>2, then y=(x-1)/2+1
    (if ‘x’ is greater than 2, then ‘y’ equals ‘x’ minus 1, divided by 2, plus 1 – rounded down to nearest integer)

    Hope this makes sense. If not I apologize, I’m sure I’m probably not being clear.

    Hi,

    Yes, that’s possible and very simple:

    For the demo, I will call X, fieldname1, to use the same fields names that our plugin. So, the equation would be:

    (function(){
    if(fieldname1 >= 1 && fieldname1<=2) return 1;
    if(fieldname>2) return floor( (fieldname1-1)/2+1 );
    })()

    Best regards.
