Math operations
Basic rules :
- Bimbal respects the mathematical priority of operations. Example:
4+2*5 = 14 different form (4+2)*5 = 30 - In any numeric field, it is possible to perform a calculation
starting with '=' - Incalculable expressions are displayed in red. Example:
3+/*-2
BOQ in red = BOQ using a non-existent variable
