total is equivalent to adding its elements together:
total(2, 3, 4)
total(-2, 4, 6)9
8Units are allowed if they are the same kind of measurement. Numbers are converted to the same units and added:
total(200 meters, 500 feet, .5 km)
total(2 hours, 20 euros)0.85 km
●Nested lists and ranges are added together:
total([1, 2, 3], 1..3)12Numbers are added left to right. This can affect percentages that have special rules when adding them to regular numbers:
total(5, 50%)
total(50%, 5)7.5
5.5The order of elements can also matter when mixing numbers with and without units. Figures assumes numbers have the same unit in a case like 5 + 3 meters which is 8 meters.
total uses the same rule when adding its elements:
total(2 hours, 3, 30 minutes)
total(30 minutes, 3, 2 hours)5.5 hr
2.55 hr
