Loidhne 7:
To use the module from normal wiki pages, no special preparation is needed. If you are using the module from another Lua module, first you need to load it, like this:
<
local mm = require('Module:Math')
</syntaxhighlight>
(The <code>mm</code> variable stands for '''M'''odule '''M'''ath; you can choose something more descriptive if you prefer.)
Loidhne 18:
{{see also|Module:Random}}
<
mm._random()
mm._random(max_value)
mm._random(min_value, max_value)
</syntaxhighlight>
Generates a random number.
Loidhne 34:
* If two arguments are provided, the number produced is an integer between the first and second arguments. Both arguments must be integers, but can be negative.
This function will not work properly for numbers less than -2^32 and greater than 2^32 - 1 (although this may vary by hardware). If you need to use numbers outside of this range, it is recommended that you use [[
== order ==
<
mm._order(n)
</syntaxhighlight>
Determines the [[order of magnitude]] of a number.
Loidhne 48:
== precision ==
<
mm._precision(number_string)
</syntaxhighlight>
Detemines the precision of a number. For example, for "4" it will return "0", for "4.567" it will return "3", and for "100" it will return "-2".
Loidhne 61:
== max ==
<
mm._max(v1, v2, v3, ...)
</syntaxhighlight>
Returns the maximum value from the values specified. Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored.
Loidhne 71:
== min ==
<
mm._min(v1, v2, v3, ...)
</syntaxhighlight>
Returns the minimum value from the values specified. Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored.
Loidhne 81:
== average ==
<
mm._average(v1, v2, v3, ...)
</syntaxhighlight>
Returns the average of the values specified. (More precisely, the value returned is the [[Mean#Arithmetic mean (AM)|arithmetic mean]].) Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored.
Loidhne 91:
== round ==
<
mm._round(value, precision)
</syntaxhighlight>
[[Rounding|Rounds]] a number to the specified precision.
Loidhne 102:
== mod ==
<
mm._round(x, y)
</syntaxhighlight>
Gets <code>''x''</code> [[Modulo operation|modulo]] <code>''y''</code>, or the remainder after <code>''x''</code> has been divided by <code>''y''</code>. This is accurate for integers up to 2^53; for larger integers Lua's modulo operator may return an erroneous value. This function deals with this problem by returning <code>0</code> if the modulo given by Lua's modulo operator is less than 0 or greater than <code>''y''</code>.
Loidhne 112:
== gcd ==
<
mm._gcd(v1, v2, ...)
</syntaxhighlight>
Finds the [[greatest common divisor]] of the values specified. Values that cannot be converted to numbers are ignored.
Loidhne 122:
== precision_format ==
<
mm._precision_format(value_string, precision)
</syntaxhighlight>
Rounds a number to the specified precision and formats according to rules originally used for {{tl|Rnd}}.
== cleanNumber ==
<
local number, number_string = mm._cleanNumber(number_string)
</syntaxhighlight>
A helper function that can be called from other Lua modules, but not from #invoke. This takes a string or a number value as input, and if the value can be converted to a number, cleanNumber returns the number and the number string. If the value cannot be converted to a number, cleanNumber returns <code>nil, nil</code>.
