#expr

Help:Extension:ParserFunctions - MediaWiki #expr

We can build a cent function:

* {{#expr: ln (9/8) / ln 2 * 1200}}
* {{#expr: ln (3/2) / ln 2 * 1200}}
* {{#expr: ln (5/4) / ln 2 * 1200}}
  • 203.91000173077
  • 701.95500086539
  • 386.31371386483

but for formatting rounded results, it would be good to use Extension:NumberFormat - MediaWiki

... which is currently not available (it's displaying just the code I typed):

12345678.055555

The Problem that can be solved by {{#number_format: [...] is that {{#expr: (ln (3/2) / ln 2 * 1200) round 5}} gives us 701.955 instead of 701.95500 if 5 decimals are requested, as indicated by the 5 after round.
