[ decimal ]

Method

[Decimal] casts a value to data type decimal. The following rules apply when performing this conversion.
- Integer values are cast to their decimal equivalent.
- String values that contain only a decimal or integer representation are cast to the decimal equivalent.
- Null values are cast to 0.

It is not possible to use this method to cast values of types map or array.

Examples
  • Beginner

To cast an action parameter to type decimal:

Values retrieved from an HTML form or URL using [Action_Param] are always of data type string. It is necessary to cast these values to decimal if they will be used in a mathematical expression using symbols.

The following example adds the values for two [Action_Param] methods using the math symbol +.

Code

decimal(action_param('Price')) + decimal(action_param('Shipping'))
