Syntax

Precedence

Priority level in expression evaluation (1 = highest, 10 = lowest): 4

Evaluated after: ^

Evaluated before: +, -, <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=, ??, &&, ||

Operands

Returns

Type: Number (Double or Decimal depending on operands)

Examples

Average Calculation

<p>Average: </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    total = 487.50m,
    count = 5
};

Output:

<p>Average: $97.50</p>

Unit Price

<p>Price per unit: $</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    totalPrice = 149.99m,
    quantity = 12
};

Output:

<p>Price per unit: $12.50</p>

Percentage Calculation

<p>Completion: %</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    completed = 17,
    total = 25
};

Output:

<p>Completion: 68.0%</p>

Rate Calculation

<p>Speed:  mph</p>

Ratio Comparison

<p>Efficiency Ratio: </p>

Notes

• Works with all numeric types (int, long, double, decimal)
• Result is typically a decimal or double for precision
• Division by zero will throw an error
• Use round(), ceiling(), or floor() to control decimal places
• For integer division (with remainder), use % (modulus) operator
• Division has same precedence as multiplication
• Use parentheses to control order of operations
