Hi again,
I need help with getting my batch file to do maths in general.
I have gotten it to do simple arithmatic such as +,- etc, but it can't do complex maths.
Could someone please help me out
Thanks,
Rileyh

Like this?
Code: Select all
@echo off
set /a var1=1
set /a var2=1
:loop
set /a var1=var*3
set /a var2=var*5
if %var1% gtr 1000 goto waz
if %var2% gtr 1000 goto waz
echo %var1%
echo %var2%
goto loop
:waz
echo done
pause
by the way, this is not tested yet.
hope it helps!

Sorry Exouxas,
I don't think it worked (it spat back hundreds of zeros!).....
Thanks so much for the effort though.
Riley,
P.S- Where did you get the code for that or did you think of it.
If you thought of the code, where did you learn- I would love to know!

Code: Select all
@echo off
echo.>test.log
for /l %%a in (0,3,1000) do (
echo %%a>>test.log
)
pause
That will send all the multiples of 3 all the way up to 1000 to a file named "test.log". Just change the "3" to a "5" to make it get the multiples of 5.

Here is a test batch. Inside you will see how the command "set / a" is working.
Code: Select all
@echo off
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
echo divided by 3 # divided by 5
for /l %%a in (1,1,20) do (
set numh=0
set "result="
set num=%%a
if %%a lss 100 set num= %%a
if %%a lss 10 set num= %%a
set /a num1=num/3
set /a num2=num-num1*3
set /a num3=num/5
set /a num4=num-num/5*5
if !num2!==0 set /a numh+=1
if !num4!==0 set /a numh+=2
if !numh!==1 set result=multiple of 3.
if !numh!==2 set result=multiple of 5.
if !numh!==3 set result=multiple of 3 and 5.
rem if !numh!==3 echo !num!
echo !num! !num1!; remainder of !num2! # !num3!; remainder of !num4! # !result!
)
