Build Tokens

1. Create ∇ Collection : My First Stuff
   1. Make it Public
   2. Save Collection
2. Search for "Training Content"
   1. Add to Collection
3. Create ∇ Equation
   1. "[Your Name] Tri-planter"
   2. Algorithm Tab: Write the following lines in Groovy Code Window.  When you hit return after using "args", vCalc shows the input parameter window below.

      • def a = args.a

      • def b = args.b

      • def c = args.c

      • def d = args.d

   3. Algorithm Tab (search for Heron)

      • drag into code window: Area of a Triangle from Length of Three Sides

        • def area = execEquation("e6cb980b-da27-11e2-8e97-bc764e04d25f",<a>,<b>,<c>) //Area of a Triangle from Length of Three Sides

      • remove <> for a, b, c

        • def area = execEquation("e6cb980b-da27-11e2-8e97-bc764e04d25f",a,b,c) //Area of a Triangle from Length of Three Sides

        • return area

   4. Algorithm Tab (Input Parameter Window on bottom: Notice Datatypes: decimals, integers, strings, vectors, matrices or arrays.  Notice Units: 600+ in over 50 categories)

      • Markup [leave blank]  Label: (a)"Side a of Triangle"                Instructions: Enter the length.                Units: Select Length, Select ft , Check m, cm, in, ft, yd

      • Markup [leave blank]  Label: (b)"Side b of Triangle"                Instructions: Enter the length.                Units: Select Length, Select ft , Check m, cm, in, ft, yd

      • Markup [leave blank]  Label: (c)"Side c of Triangle"                Instructions: Enter the length.                Units: Select Length, Select ft , Check m, cm, in, ft, yd

      • Markup [leave blank]  Label: (d)"Depth of Triangle "                Instructions: Enter the length.                Units: Select Length, Select in , Check m, cm, in, ft, yd
