BC Math Functions
Be aware:
$exp1 = "1E5";
$exp2 = "2E4";
$ans1 = bcadd((float)$exp1, (float)$exp2, 3);
$ans2 = bcadd((int)$exp1, (int)$exp2, 3);
$ans3 = bcadd($exp1, $exp2, 3);
echo "1: $exp1 + $exp2 = $ans1\r\n";
echo "2: $exp1 + $exp2 = $ans2\r\n";
echo "3: $exp1 + $exp2 = $ans3\r\n";
1: 1E5 + 2E4 = 120000.000
2: 1E5 + 2E4 = 3.000
3: 1E5 + 2E4 = 0.000
bcadd
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
bcadd — Add two arbitrary precision numbers
Description
string bcadd
( string $left_operand
, string $right_operand
[, int $scale
] )
Sums left_operand and right_operand .
Parameters
- left_operand
-
The left operand, as a string.
- right_operand
-
The right operand, as a string.
- scale
-
This optional parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place in the result. You can also set the global default scale for all functions by using bcscale().
Return Values
The sum of the two operands, as a string.
Examples
Example #1 bcadd() example
<?php
$a = '1.234';
$b = '5';
echo bcadd($a, $b); // 6
echo bcadd($a, $b, 4); // 6.2340
?>
