Math Functions
Lighthouse Studio includes a number of math functions that can be used to display information to the screen, within skip logic, within constructed list logic, for use with Hidden Variables, and in other fields within the Lighthouse Studio menu system.
The "Sawtooth Script" column below gives the syntax for Math Functions.
