Numbers & Math — Learn bubblecode

bubblecode handles numbers and math just like you’d expect — with the familiar +, -, *, and / operators.

Basic arithmetic

math.bubble

say 10 + 5
say 10 - 3
say 4 * 6
say 20 / 4

Storing results

You can do math inside a put or set statement:

calc.bubble

put 15 + 7 into total
set half to total / 2
 
say "Total:" && total
say "Half:" && half

Modulo (remainder)

The mod operator gives you the remainder after division:

mod.bubble

say 10 mod 3
say 7 mod 2
say 8 mod 4

Built-in math functions

bubblecode comes with handy math functions:

mathfns.bubble

say "Absolute:" && abs(-42)
say "Max:" && max(10, 25)
say "Min:" && min(10, 25)
say "Round:" && round(3.7)
say "Floor:" && floor(3.9)
say "Ceil:" && ceil(3.1)

Exercise

Calculate the area of a rectangle with width 12 and height 5. Store it in a variable called "area" and print "Area: 60".

put 0 into area
say "Area:" && area
