Let

The following commands have been implemented in EMUEScript exactly as they are implemented in OLIE™:

Note: The Let command is only valid for assigning numeric values to variables.  The Copy command is used to assign literal string to variables.

Syntax -

Let <variable name> = <source value>

       Where:

       <variable name> is the user defined name that is assigned to the variable.<source value> is a numeric value or a variable containing a numeric value.

Description:

The Let command is used to assign a numeric value to a variable.  This command can also be used to perform basic arithmetic such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  For more complex arithmetic that requires multiple operators, use the Complex Let.

Sample 1:

       This example assigns the value 1 to the variable Count.

Let Count = 1

Sample 2:

       This sample increments the variable Count by adding one to it and storing the resulting value back into the variable Count.

Let Count = Count + 1

Syntax - MOD

Let <variable name> = <value1> MOD <value2>

       Where:

       <variable name> is the user defined name that is assigned to the variable.

       <value1> is a number or a variable containing a numeric value.

       <value2> is a number or a variable containing a numeric value.

Description:

The MOD value is defined as the integer remainder of <value1> divided by <value2>.  This value is stored in <variable name>.

Note:  Use of the MOD operator will always result in an integer value being stored in the variable.

Note: If the numbers or variables used as <value1> or <value2> are not integers, value1 and value2 will be rounded before the division is calculated.

Sample 1:

       In the following example, 12 is divided by 5 with a remainder of 2, which is the new value stored in Remainder.

Let Remainder = 12 MOD 5

Sample 2:

       In the following example, 6 divides evenly into 6 and so there is no remainder.  The value of the variable Remainder is then 0.

Let Remainder = 6 MOD 6
