Math Add Float (+)

The Math Add Float node performs addition on two floating-point numbers. It takes two input values, adds them together, and outputs the result.

​
Inputs

  1. a (float, default: 0): The first number to add.
  2. b (float, default: 0): The second number to add.

​
Outputs

  1. result (float): The sum of the two input numbers.

​
Configuration

This node has no configuration options.

​
Usage

  1. Connect the first number to the a input port.
  2. Connect the second number to the b input port.
  3. The node will output the sum of the two numbers via the result output port.

​
Example

Here’s an example of how to use the Math Add Float node in a spell: 
1. Create a Math Add Float node.
2. Create two Number nodes and set their values to 3.14 and 2.71.
3. Connect the output of the first Number node to the `a` input of the Math Add Float node.
4. Connect the output of the second Number node to the `b` input of the Math Add Float node.
5. Create a Debug Print node and connect the `result` output of the Math Add Float node to its input.
6. Run the spell.
The Debug Print node will output the value 5.85, which is the sum of 3.14 and 2.71.

​
Best Practices

  • Ensure that the input values are of the correct type (float). Connecting inputs of the wrong type may lead to unexpected behavior.
  • Remember that the order of the inputs does not affect the result, as addition is commutative.

​
Common Issues

  • If either of the input values is not a valid floating-point number, the node will output a NaN (Not a Number) value. Ensure that all inputs are properly formatted floating-point numbers.
The Math Add Float node is a fundamental building block for performing arithmetic operations in Magick spells. By chaining together multiple Math nodes, complex calculations can be performed on data as it flows through the spell.
