Add currency values

The Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency extension adds two currency values from inside a Virtuoso journey.

This is useful when your test needs to calculate the total of two currency amounts while keeping the original currency symbol and its position.

Parameters:

• Number1 required, the first amount as a text value with a currency symbol, for example $10.50, 10.50$, or Rs20.50;
• Number2 required, the second amount as a text value with the same currency symbol as Number1, for example $5.75, 5.75$, or Rs5.75.

NLP usage

Use the extension in a journey by calling Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency with the execute command. Pass each value to the matching extension input using as inputName.

To add two currency values with the symbol at the start:

execute "Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency" using "$10.50" as Number1, "$5.75" as Number2 returning $Total

To add two currency values with the symbol at the end:

execute "Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency" using "10.50$" as Number1, "5.75$" as Number2 returning $Total

To add two values using a text currency such as Rs:

execute "Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency" using "Rs20.50" as Number1, "Rs5.75" as Number2 returning $Total

You can also use Virtuoso variables to make the same step reusable across different amounts:

execute "Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency" using "$amount1" as Number1, "$amount2" as Number2 returning $Total

Example setup using variables before calling the extension:

store value "$10.50" in $amount1
store value "$5.75" in $amount2
execute "Arithmetic/addingNumbersWithCurrency" using "$amount1" as Number1, "$amount2" as Number2 returning $Total

For example, adding $10.50 and $5.75 returns:

$16.25

This extension does not require any external resource.

The extension should be configured as:

• Run asynchronously: No
• Scope: Global

    // Check if both numbers have the same currency symbol
    if (symbol1 !== symbol2) {
        throw new Error('Different currency symbols');
    }

    // Add the numbers
    const sum = num1 + num2;

    // Format the result with the currency symbol in the correct position
    const result = position1 === 'start' ? `${symbol1}${sum.toFixed(2)}` : `${sum.toFixed(2)}${symbol1}`;

    return result;

// Example usage:
const number1 = Number1;
const number2 = Number2;
const sum = addCurrencyNumbers(number1, number2);
console.log(sum); // Output
