Addv

From AGI Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The addv command adds the values of two variables, and stores the result in the first variable.

Syntax

addv(var vA, var vB);
vA = vA + vB;
vA += vB;

Remarks

Because variables are 8 bit unsigned numbers, if the result of the addition exceeds 255, the result 'wraps around'. For example, if v50 currently equals 200, and v51 has a value of 60, the statement:

addv(v50, v51);

will result in a value for v50 of 4 (200 + 60 = 260; 260 - 256 = 4). This can be represented mathematically as vA = (vA + vB) % 0x100.

Possible Errors

None.

Example

Code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"> v50 = 100; v51 = 100; addv(v50, v51); [ v50 now equals 200 v50 = v50 + v51; [ v50 now equals 44 (300 - 256) v50 += v51; [ v50 now equals 144 </syntaxhighlight>
