# {math}
`{math}` allows the template designer to do math equations in the
template.
## Attributes
| Attribute Name | Required | Description |
|----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------|
| equation | Yes | The equation to execute |
| format | No | The format of the result (sprintf) |
| var | Yes | Equation variable value |
| assign | No | Template variable the output will be assigned to |
| \[var \...\] | Yes | Equation variable value |
- Any numeric template variables may be used in the equations, and the
result is printed in place of the tag.

equation string Yes *n/a* The equation to execute
format string No *n/a* The format of the result (sprintf)
var numeric Yes *n/a* Equation variable value
assign string No *n/a* Template variable the output will be assigned to
\[var \...\] numeric Yes *n/a* Equation variable value
## Examples
**Example a:**
**Example 1**
```smarty
{* $height=4, $width=5 *}
{* $height=4, $width=5 *}
{math equation="x + y" x=$height y=$width}
{math equation="x + y" x=$height y=$width}
```
The above example will output:
```
9
```
**Example 2**
```smarty
{* $row_height = 10, $row_width = 20, #col_div# = 2, assigned in template *}
{math equation="height * width / division"
height=$row_height
width=$row_width
division=#col_div#}
```
The above example will output:
9
```
100
```
**Example 3**
**Example b:**
```smarty
{* you can use parenthesis *}
{* $row_height = 10, $row_width = 20, #col_div# = 2, assigned in template *}
{math equation="height * width / division"
height=$row_height
width=$row_width
division=#col_div#}
{math equation="(( x + y ) / z )" x=2 y=10 z=2}
```
The above example will output:
```
6
```
100
**Example 4**
```smarty
{* you can supply a format parameter in sprintf format *}
{math equation="x + y" x=4.4444 y=5.0000 format="%.2f"}
```
**Example c:**
{* you can use parenthesis *}
{math equation="(( x + y ) / z )" x=2 y=10 z=2}
The above example will output:
6
**Example d:**
{* you can supply a format parameter in sprintf format *}
{math equation="x + y" x=4.4444 y=5.0000 format="%.2f"}
The above example will output:
9.44
```
