MJMath

MJMath is a helper class that augments the IMathOperators and IMathFunctions interfaces supported by the MJDecimal, MJInteger and MJVariant variable classes. It offers convenience methods for operating on java.lang.Number and MJ variables, including binary operations that are not commutative (e.g., subtraction and division) and alternative method signatures for functions such as FRAC and MOD.

Supports Math on MJString

For backward compatibility with MAPPER, MJMath also supports math on MJString variables. Like MAPPER, MJ requires string variables to contain valid numeric content. Also like MAPPER, in MJString variables subject to useAlphaCompare (MAPPER "type A"), the scan for characters that appear numeric ends upon encountering first, non-leading white space.

These examples illustrate the points above:

//////////////////// Divide java.lang.Number by MJDecimal (@CHG) ////////
// @LDV <dvi>f4=7 .
// @CHG <fltQuot>f18.17 22 / <dvi> .

MJDecimal dvi = new MJDecimal(VariableScope.LOCAL, 4, 0, new BigDecimal("7"));
Number quot = MJMath.divide(22, dvi, EnumSet.of(MathOption.EVALUATE_JAVA_TYPE));
assert quot instanceof BigDecimal;
MJDecimal fltQuot = new MJDecimal(VariableScope.LOCAL, 18, 17, (BigDecimal) quot);
assert "3.1428571428571400".equals(fltQuot.toMapperNumericString());

//////////////////// MOD MJString by MJInteger (@ART) ///////////////////
// @LDV <sdvd>s17='112233445566.98765' .
// @LDV <idiv>i13=-44444444533 .
// @ART MOD(<sdvd>,<idiv>) <modRslt>f18.17 .

MJString sdvd = new MJString(VariableScope.LOCAL, MaprptVariableType.STRING, 17,
  EnumSet.of(LoadOption.TRUNCATE), "112233445566.98765");
MJInteger idiv = new MJInteger(VariableScope.LOCAL, 13,
  EnumSet.noneOf(LoadOption.class), "-44444444533");
Number mod = MJMath.mod(sdvd, idiv, EnumSet.of(MathOption.EVALUATE_MAPPER_TYPE,
  MathOption.PREFER_DECIMAL_OVER_FLOAT));
assert mod instanceof BigDecimal;
MJDecimal modRslt = new MJDecimal(VariableScope.LOCAL, 18, 17, (BigDecimal) mod);
assert "23344556500.987600".equals(modRslt.toMapperNumericString());
