JWT is a number specialist!
Numbers can be provided as fixed values - or literals - in the format described in the table below or they can be retrieved by using field codes.
Fixed values
Numbers can be added to any expression as fixed values.
| Input | Example |
|---|---|
| Valid numerical values |
|
Variable values (field values)
Numeric values of NUMBER data type fields can be inserted in any expression as number field codes using the following notation {...somenumberfield} - e.g {issue.votes}.
The most common use cases for calculating with numbers are in fact related to dates and times, since these timestamps are internally represented as numbers.
Mathematical functions
JWT is very powerful when it comes to numbers and calculations. It offers a wide range of mathematical functions to be used in a parser expression.
Besides the functions listed below, JWT offers the common arithmetical operators:
- Number1 + Number2 : adding two nunbers
- Number1 - Number2 : subtracting Number2 from Number1
- Number1 * Number2 : multiplying two numbers
- Number1 / Number2 : dividing Number1 by Number2
