Arithmetic
Perform simple calculations with two numbers. It also shares the same parameters as View Formatted Number and uses your Number Format Defaults. If you are passing variables (eg. {my_variable}) in as parameters pay close attention to variable parse order. If you are having problems with a calculation, use the debug parameter to see what is being processed.

Parameters
- expression="{quantity} * {price}"
- operator="*"
- num1="{price}"
- num2="{quantity}
- debug="yes"
- format="yes"
expression
Enter a full arithmetic expression. If this parameter is used, the others are ignored.
expression="{quantity} * {price}"operator
Valid operators are: +, -, *, /, ++, and --.
operator="*"num1
Required if not using expression param. All non-numeric characters will be stripped.
num1="{price}"num2
Required, if not using expression param and operator is neither ++ nor --.
num2="{quantity}"debug
If using the expression param, setting this to "yes" will print out the expression rather than evaluate it. This can help debugging parse order issues.
debug="yes"format
Setting this to "yes" will print out the expression as a formatted currency vs. a raw integer/float.
format="yes"Examples
Item Subtotal: {exp:cartthrob:arithmetic expression="{item:quantity} * {item:price}"}
// Result: 1.23
Item Subtotal: {exp:cartthrob:arithmetic expression="{item:quantity} * {item:price}"}
// Result $1.23
Item Subtotal: {exp:cartthrob:arithmetic operator="*" num1="{item:quantity}" num2="{item:price}"}
// Result: 1.23
