Arithmetic Functions
The Arithmetic category provides functions for doing basic arithmetic functions. The arithmetic functions work on numeric typed fields:
• double
• float
• int (integer)
• long
• numeric (equivalent to the Java BigDecimal type)
Parameters to the arithmetic functions are one of the following:
• The name of the field to use as the input value
• A constant value
• A function that provides a numeric result

Parameters
Arithmetic.add(augend, addend)
+
