Complex mathematical formulas in Coldfusion??

[johk02]

HI,
I have been trying to hunt around for tutorials/examples on how to to process/write mathematical formulas with coldfusion but been unsuccesfull. If i have, for example some financial formulas with x amount of variables, which would actually be the best way to go about writing the code?? I am not asking anyone to "give me" the code, it would just be heldfull if someone have some "tips and tricks" and point me in right direction.

It is all going to be about investment so the formulas have to take in account for - how much money you put in, risk, time of investment, if you cash in some shares half way throu etc.

Thanks
Jonas

Do you have an example formula you could show us? Doing calculations in CF is fairly straightforward, here's a list of all of the math functions built into CFMX.

Hope This Helps!

I haven't recieved the formulas from the accountat yet, it will proberly take another3-4 weeks. I just wanted to do some research on before hand because this is a bit new for me ie doing math calculations in CF.
