Mathematical Functions Previous  Top  Next Absolute Database supports the following mathematical functions: Function Description ABS Returns the absolute value of a number ACOS Returns the inverse cosine of a given number ASIN Returns the inverse sine of a given number ATAN Returns the arctangent of a number CEIL Rounds variables up toward positive infinity COS Returns the cosine of an angle EXP Returns the exponential of a number FLOOR Rounds variables toward negative infinity LOG Returns the natural log of a real expression POWER Raises Base to any power RAND Generates random numbers within a specified range ROUND Returns the value of a number rounded to the specified length or precision. SIGN Indicates whether a numeric value is positive, negative, or zero SIN Returns the sine of the angle in radians SQR Returns the square of a number SQRT Returns the square root of a number ABS (numeric_exp) Returns the absolute value of a number. Example: ABS(-2.9) returns 2.9   ACOS (numeric_exp) Returns the inverse cosine of a given number. Example: ACOS(1) returns 0   ASIN (numeric_exp) Returns the inverse sine of a given number. Example: ASIN(0) returns 0   ATAN (numeric_exp) Returns the arctangent of a number. Example: ATAN(0) returns 0   CEIL (numeric_exp) The ceil function returns the smallest integer value that is greater than or equal to a number. Example: CEIL(11.22) returns 12   COS (numeric_exp) The cos function returns the cosine of a number. Example: COS(-3.15) returns -0.999964658471342   EXP (numeric_exp) The exp function returns e raised to the nth power, where e = 2.71828183. Example: EXP(3) returns 20.0855369231877   FLOOR (numeric_exp) The floor function returns the largest integer value that is equal to or less than a number. Example: FLOOR(3.67) returns 3   LOG (numeric_exp) The log function returns the natural logarithm of a number. Example: LOG(20) returns 2.99573227355399   POWER (base, exponent) The power function returns base raised to the exponent power. Example: POWER(3,2) returns 9   RAND (numeric_exp) Returns a string equal to that in numeric_exp with all uppercase characters converted to lowercase. Example: RAND(10) may return 0..9   ROUND (numeric_exp, [ decimals = 0 [, rounding_mode = HalfEven ] ]) The round function returns a number rounded to the specified length or precision. The decimals parameter is the precision to which numeric_exp is to be rounded The rounding_mode possible values are: HalfEven - Round to nearest or to even whole number. ("Banker's Rounding")   HalfPos - Round to nearest or toward positive.   HalfNeg - Round to nearest or toward negative.   HalfDown - Round to nearest or toward zero.   HalfUp - Round to nearest or away from zero.   RndNeg - Round toward negative. (i.e. Floor)   RndPos - Round toward positive. (i.e. Ceil)   RndDown - Round toward zero. (i.e. Trunc)   RndUp - Round away from zero.   Example: ROUND(4.6) returns 5   ROUND(4.56, 1) returns 4.6   ROUND(1.235, 2) returns 1.24   ROUND(1.245, 2) returns 1.24   ROUND(1.245, 2, HalfPos) returns 1.25   SIGN (numeric_exp) The sign function returns a value indicating the sign of a number. Example: SIGN(10) returns 1   SIN (numeric_exp) The sin function returns the sine of a number. Example: SIN(3) returns 0.141120008059867   SQR (numeric_exp) Returns the square of a number. Example: SQR(3) returns 9   SQRT (numeric_exp) The sqrt function returns the square root of a number. Example: SQRT(9) returns 3           © 2003 - 2025 ComponentAce  | .net zip component | barcode for .net | delphi zip component | delphi database Jun 16, 2025
