[asterisk-users] Help with FUNC_MATH

Is it stored as a floating-point number or an integer? Floating-point decimal numbers are often not stored precisely. As in my example, below, “12” may be stored as 11.99999999999 (simplified) and, although it will be treated  as “12” in most cases, it will appear to be less than 12 in a comparison.

HOUR_SELECTED is going to be 1-12

Hi,

 

I have some dialplan code that is trying to convert 12 hour time with AM/PM to 24 hour format. The code has something like this:
Exten => 2,1,ExecIf(${MATH(${HOUR_SELECTED}<12)}?Set(HOUR_SELECTED=${MATH(${HOUR_SELECTED}+12,int)}))

 

Earlier on in the dialplan HOUR_SELECTED is set to 12. When they press option 2 they are selecting PM. If the time is from 1PM to 11PM then I want to add 12 to the number (so if it's 1 make it 13 etc.). When I run the above the logs show the result as false yet if the user sets HOUR_SELECTED to 12 then after this line of dialplan code it gets switched to 24. What am I doing wrong here?

 

The exact DP code is:

Exten => 2,     1, Noop(BEFORE CHECK HOUR_SELECTED is ${HOUR_SELECTED})
 same =>        n, ExecIf(${MATH(${HOUR_SELECTED}<12)}?Set(HOUR_SELECTED=${MATH(${HOUR_SELECTED}+12,int)}))
 same =>        n, Noop(AFTER CHECK HOUR_SELECTED IS ${HOUR_SELECTED})

 

And the output of the logs is:

[Feb 13 10:46:18] VERBOSE[1580][C-00007bc6] pbx.c: Executing [2 at am_pm_select:1] NoOp("SIP/204.145.219.31-000081c6", "BEFORE CHECK HOUR_SELECTED is 12") in new stack

TIA.
