A simple calculation

[AQLIVE]

How do I implement the following:

A label called currency, an input field, a checkbox for up and a check box for down, and a calculated field.

I then want to input a value, check either up or down checkbox and based on the selected checkbox I want to add (if up selected) 0.00112 to the entered value or -0.00112(if down is selected)

I know it's a lot to ask but if someone could then maybe point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AQLIVE,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. I highly recommend to take a look at these stack to get the basics of Livecode:

3. Please take a look that the attached stack, should do what wou want.
I commented all scripts, so please take deep look!

Hi Klaus and thanks you sooooooo much for that detailed explanation of how to do that simple calculation.
That really helped me alot.

I thought functions (the calculation function) should be written in the stack and not in the button.
But this makes it much simpler. Thanks a million

It it possible then to make somekind of executable / program file from that piece of code so that I can just start the calculation program instead of live code every time?

"Commonly used" should of course go into the stack or card script, but this was just a quick example

It it possible then to make somekind of executable / program file from that piece of code ...

Sure it is!

In Livecode go to menu "Help" and select "User Guide".
Then a PDF should open and in the PDF look for chapter: 9.1 Building a Standalone Application
That will tell you what to do
