Introduction

In Mini Mouse Macro, DECIMAL VARIABLE objects are used to store and manipulate numbers with decimal points, providing a way to work with floating-point values. They are essential for calculations and operations that require precision beyond whole numbers. This guide will provide a thorough understanding of decimal variables, including their definition, usage, and examples.

Defining Decimal Variables

Decimal variables in Mini Mouse Macro can be defined using the internal %DECIMAL% name or any custom name. Choosing descriptive names for your variables is a good practice as it improves the readability and maintainability of your macros. An undeclared decimal variable defaults to the value of 0.

Naming Conventions

When naming decimal variables, opt for names that reflect their purpose or the nature of the value they hold. For example, instead of %DECIMAL% or %DECIMAL1%, use names like %Price%, %TaxRate%, or %Measurement%.

Definition Examples

Defining with the Default Name

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %DECIMAL%::10.55

This line of code defines a decimal variable named %DECIMAL% and assigns it the value 10.55.

Defining with Custom Names

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %UnitPrice%::25.99
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Discount%::0.15
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %TotalCost%::0.0

Here, we define three decimal variables with descriptive names:

  • %UnitPrice% is assigned the value 25.99.
  • %Discount% is assigned the value 0.15.
  • %TotalCost% is initialized to 0.0.

Alternative Syntax

1 | RUN ACTION | DECIMAL::1.0

This will define the %DECIMAL% variable with the value 1.0.

Defining variables can also be done manually from the ‘Variable’ settings page.

3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %FinalPrice%::%OriginalPrice%-%DiscountAmount%
  • Lines 1-2: We define %OriginalPrice% and %DiscountAmount%.
  • Line 3: %FinalPrice% is calculated by subtracting %DiscountAmount% from %OriginalPrice%.

Multiplication

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Length%::5.5
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Width%::2.5
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Area%::%Length%*%Width%
  • Lines 1-2: We define %Length% and %Width%.
  • Line 3: %Area% is calculated by multiplying %Length% by %Width%.

Division

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %TotalDistance%::250.0
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %FuelUsed%::12.5
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Efficiency%::%TotalDistance%/%FuelUsed%
  • Lines 1-2: We define %TotalDistance% and %FuelUsed%.
  • Line 3: %Efficiency% is calculated by dividing %TotalDistance% by %FuelUsed%.

Power Of

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Base%::2.0
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Exponent%::3.0
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Result%::%Base%^%Exponent%
  • Lines 1-2: We define %Base% and %Exponent%.
  • Line 3: %Result% is calculated as %Base% raised to the power of %Exponent%.

Modulus

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Dividend%::10.0
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Divisor%::3.0
3 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Remainder%::%Dividend%%%Divisor%
  • Lines 1-2: We define %Dividend% and %Divisor%.
  • Line 3: %Remainder% is calculated as the remainder of %Dividend% divided by %Divisor%.

Logical Evaluations

Decimal variables can be used in logical evaluations, similar to integer variables.

Available Logical Operators

  • Equal to (=)
  • Not equal to (!=)
  • Greater than (>)
  • Greater than or equal to (>=)
  • Less than (<)
  • Less than or equal to (<=)

Logical Operator Examples with Named Variables

Equal To

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Value1%::1.23
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Value2%::1.23
3 | IF | DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Value1% | = | %Value2% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | Values are equal::Match
  • Lines 1-2: We define %Value1% and %Value2%.
  • Line 3: The IF statement checks if %Value1% is equal to %Value2%, displaying a message if true.

Not Equal To

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Temp1%::25.5
2 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Temp2%::26.0
3 | IF | DECIMAL VARIABLE | %Temp1% | != | %Temp2% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | Temperatures are different::Confirmed
  • Lines 1-2: We define %Temp1% and %Temp2%.
  • Line 3: The IF statement checks if %Temp1% is not equal to %Temp2%, displaying a message if true.

Greater Than

Decimal Output

Decimal variable contents can be used in macro’s with the %DECIMAL% word or the defined custom name.

Examples

Basic Decimal Output

1 | 2409 | 790 | 200 | Keypress My decimal variable is equal to %Decimal%
  • Line 1: Simulates a keypress action at the mouse position (X=2409, Y=790) with a delay of 200 milliseconds before typing the text My decimal variable is equal to %Decimal%. The %Decimal% variable dynamically outputs its current value during execution.

Using Variables in combination with other variable types output

1 | 2739 | 701 | 200 | Keypress My integer is %INTEGER%.  A random is: %random_1-100000% and here is my decimal:%Decimal%
  • Line 1: Simulates a keypress action at the mouse position (X=2739, Y=701) with a delay of 200 milliseconds before typing the text My integer is %INTEGER%. A random is: %random_1-100000% and here is my decimal: %Decimal%. This dynamically outputs the current values of %INTEGER%, a random number between 1 and 100,000 (%random_1-100000%), and %Decimal%.
