Hi all,
I'm wondering about how to do rounding in commcare. We are trying to
calculate the number of weeks in a pregnancy based on lmp_date and today's
date. Its a simple division and round issue.
ODK's javarosa source now supports "int()"
(see Form Logic - ODK Docs /
https://bitbucket.org/m.sundt/javarosa/src/62409ae3b803/core/src/org/javarosa/xpath/expr/XPathFuncExpr.java#cl-129
if you need details).
What is the commcare equivalent / is there one? (We tried round, but it
didn't work).
cheers,

Hey Prabhas,
We do support "int()". Check out the lastest list of all xpath functions

Does the int() support date calculations? I'm trying to subtract two dates
and divide by 7 to get the rounded off number of gestational weeks, so the
command looks like this: int((today - lmp_date) div 7), but nothing is
showing up for this field. I removed the div 7, just to see if int would
work with subtracting two dates, and still nothing shows up. Any thoughts?

Carolyn,
Is "today" defined in your app currently, or are you trying to use the
"today" function? the function would be used as
int((today() - lmp_date) div 7)
Alternatively, depending on what version of the engine you're running,
sometimes the app has issues with maintaining the datatype for computed
dates, so you can try wrapping any referenced node with the date() cast,
IE: (Assuming both "today" and "lmp_date" are nodes)
int( (date(today) - date(lmp_date)) div 7)
No need to explicitly turn a date into an int, if you subtract two dates,
the result will always be an integer.
Can you try these changes and see if they address your issue?

Hi Carolyn,
You can also find some examples of commonly used calculations (including
age calculations) on our wiki here:
