Function Name Description Parameters Example Usage
 

 

   
random(n) Generates a random number within the range [0, n). n: upper limit (optional, default=1)
random(10)
n! Calculates the factorial of n.  n: number
5!
min(a,b,…) Identifies the smallest number in a given list. a, b, …: list of numbers
min(3, 7, 1)
max(a,b,…) Identifies the largest number in a given list. a, b, …: list of numbers
max(3, 7, 1)
hypot(a,b) Calculates the hypotenuse or the square root of the sum of the squares of its arguments. a, b: sides of a right triangle
hypot(3, 4)
pyt(a, b) Alias for hypot, calculates the hypotenuse. a, b: sides of a right triangle
pyt(3, 4)
pow(x, y) Raises x to the power of y. x: base, y: exponent
pow(2, 3)
atan2(y, x) Calculates the arc tangent of x/y, the angle in radians between (0, 0) and (x, y). y: width, x: height
atan2(90, 15)
roundTo(x, n) Rounds x to n decimal places. x: number to round, n: number of decimal places
roundTo(3.14159, 2)
map(f, a) Applies function f to each element in array a, returning an array of the results. f: function, a: array
map(f, [1, 2, 3])
fold(f, y, a) Reduces array a into a single value y by applying function f to each element. f: function, y: initial value, a: array
fold(f, 0, [1, 2, 3])
filter(f, a) Filters array a by function f, returning an array of elements for which f is true. f: function, a: array
filter(f, [1, 2, 3, 4])
indexOf(x, a) Finds the first index of value x in array a; returns -1 if not found. x: value, a: array
indexOf('Invoice', ['Report', 'Invoice', 'Memo'])
join(sep, a) Joins the elements of array a into a string, separated by sep. sep: separator, a: array
join("; ", ['Report', 'Invoice', 'Memo'])
if(c, a, b)

Evaluates condition c; returns a if true, b otherwise.

Note: always evaluates both a and b.

c: condition, a: value if true, b: value if false
if(x>10, 'High', 'Low')
