Algebraic Equations + JASS

[Sneakster]

I am very much so a GUI map-maker for Warcraft, and have been for a long time. I want start implementing some JASS into my maps, and so to help me understand JASS better, I wanted to know how a simple algebraic equation could be translated into JASS.

An equation would be something simple, like:

Your Gold: 500
Rate you gain gold: 10gold per 6 seconds
Cost of Building: 600

How much gold do you need to build the building?

500 + 10x = 600
10x = 100
x = 10 gold per 6 seconds

Obviously, I think almost everyone could do that in their head. I'm just wondering, how would you convert a mathematical equation like this into a form of JASS code?

Thanks.

I don't quite get what you mean by that, do you want to calculate how much more gold you need to build a certain building?

500 + 10x = 600
10x = 100
x = 100 gold

X = 10

Just sayin'.

This should be something like what you want, or at least give you an idea:

function Equation takes real x returns real
    return 500 + (10 * x)
endfunction

500 + 10*x = 600
10*x = 100
x = 10 gold


a + c*x = b (assuming value's a, b and c are given.)
c*x = d
x = d

b - a = d
d / c = x

Thanks for all the replies! I just started reading some tutorials and hopefully I can implement equations into my coding soon.

X = 10

Just sayin'.

LOL I didn't even notice. Just fixed it lol.
