## fishcoin equation

coin
<img src="/fishcoin/resources/coin.gif">

the equation option enables codes that change over time or use

the output of the equation is the amount that will be recieved from the code

equation output will be rounded down to nearest positive integer.

remember: each fishcoin code is redeemable once per user, and a "use" is when coins are recieved from the code.

> **variables**
- **a** — basic amount
- **d** — days (24hr periods) since creation
- **u** — uses

> **comparison operators** (output 1 or 0)
- **==** — is equal to
- **>** — is greater than
- **<** — is less than

> **operators**
- **\*** — multiplied by
- **/** — divided by
- **+** — plus
- **-** — minus
- **( )** — the quantity of (grouping)
- **\*\*** — to the power of

## examples

>` a*(d<8)*(u==0) ` — **default equation**
- the basic amount exists only if the days passed is less than 8 (one week lifespan)
- you could also write this without the *

>` 1000 * d ` — **growth over time example**
- every day 1000 fishcoins are added to the code
- you don't have to use the basic amount in your equation

>` (3**u) * ((3**u) < 1000000) ` — **exponential growth over use (with limit)**
- each use increases the amount of fishcoins exponentially with a limit of 1,000,000
