    Hello palnati,

    Calculations (Add,Multiply,etc..) are performed with Java Float Precision

    Trailing Zeros in result are truncated Eg : 5.6-0.6 = 5

    To keep the Trailing Zeros use the FormatNum Function.

    And if you want the do the Padding we use these Function.

    Regards

    if you have input like 1,2,3 4 and you want output like 0001,0002,0003 etc then you use format number.

    Hi palnati,

    FormatNum Converts a Integer according to a pattern that you define using the function properties.

    Examples

    input a = 123 then you need 000123.

    a -- formatnum(give the format 000000) --b

    for example if you want commas after 3 numbers

    you just use input -> number format->output

    Ex: 1234 ->000,0->123,4

    see here to get more examples

    Hi

    Incase if u what to get the output in particular format

    then we will go for this formatnumber.

    e.g:

    2 -> 00002

    23 ->00023

    You can mention the pattern type in the properties.

    Hi Palnati,

    formatNum is not a node function..it's an Arithmetic function.
