long\int Sum fuction

[Janine DeBeradinis <jd...@higherone.com>]

Hello -

It appears as if the _intSum or _longSum functions do not work with numbers that contain a decimal (i.e. 117.51).  When I attempt to run a script that uses one of these functions with a number that contains a decimal, I get a compilation error and a java.lang.NumberFormatException error in the logs.  Can JMeter not add these types of numbers?  Or, is there another function that I can use?

Thank you.
Janine

The functions are generally used with counters and pauses etc., which
only need integral values.

There are several scripting functions, see:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__jexl
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__javaScript
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__BeanShell

ints and longs don't do real numbers. I don't see a function to use floats,
which seems odd to me. I'm sure you could add up your numbers with a BSF
sampler, though. Something like

Float myFloat = ${varWithReals} // Or use
Float.parseFloat(vars.get("varWithReals"));
Float accumulate = ${accumulatorVar} + myFloat;
vars.put("accumulatorVar", Float.toString(accumulate));

It's kind of a long way to go to get that, though. Perhaps someone can
suggest an easier method.

You may prefer to use Double than Float, depending on how big/small your
numbers are.
