Mathematical operators

Mathematical operators can be used with numerical values and variables. They can also be used inside of command parameters.

The following mathematical operations are implemented in Descript:

Operator	Name	Syntax example	Description
+	Summation	1+2	Adds numbers
-	Subtraction	3-2	Subtracts numbers
*	Multiplication	4*2	Multiplies numbers
/	Division	1/2	Divides numbers
%	Modulo	11%3	Gives back remainder
^	Exponent	2^3	Gives back exponent
sin	Sine	sin(30)	Gives back sine of degree input
cos	Cosine	cos(30)	Gives back cosine of degree input
tan	Tangent	tan(30)	Gives back tangent of degree input
log	Logarithm (base 10)	log(100)	Gives back base 10 logarithm
round	Rounding	round(1.23)	Rounds a number
floor	Rounding down	floor(1.23)	Rounds down
ceil	Rounding up	ceil(1.23)	Rounds up
nint	Nearest integer	nint(1.23)	Gives back nearest integer
sqrt	Square root	sqrt(2)	Gives back square root
min	Minimum	min(1;2)	Minimum of 2 numbers
max	Maximum	max(1;2)	Maximum of 2 numbers
abs	Absolute value	abs(-123)	Gives back absolute value

Examples
