HyperMath allows simple arithmetic using operators to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers.  The following example uses the print() function to print the results of some calculations.

> print(2+2)

4

 

> print(2-7)

-5

 

> print("The product of 7 * 8 is", 7*8)

The product of 7 * 8 is 56

 

> print(7/8)

0.875

All numbers are double precision.  You can assign values to variables using the = operator.  Variable names are case sensitive.

> x = 7

> print(x)

7

The variable x is created when the number 7 is assigned to it.  In the following example, use the print() function to print the value of x.  You can use the value of x for other calculations.

> x = x * 9

> print(x)

63

 

> print(x*2) // will not change the value of x

126

> print(x)

63

Notice how print(x*2)does not change the value of x because it was not assigned using the equal sign, "=".  Instead, x = x * 9 multiples the current value of x by 9 and stores the new value of x again.
