After Effect Expression question

• CyBrainX

  I'm getting an error in the second line asking for a "(".
  What gives?

  rawSliderNumber = thisComp.layer("CONTROL variables").effect("B")("Slider...
  if ((result mod 1) != 0) {
  (Math.floor(thisComp.layer("CONT... variables").effect("M")("Slider... * 10) / 10 + "0B";
  } else {
  (Math.floor(thisComp.layer("CONT... variables").effect("M")("Slider... * 10) / 10 + "B";
  }

  Thanks in advance.

  Never mind the truncated lines. My error is in the statement with the following line.

  if ((result mod 1) != 0) {

  Expected: ).

  • but I'm not sure what "result mod 1" doesfeel
  • I had number being generated by an expression slider I wanted to round it to tenths but wanted a .0 for even results.
    result was a variable for the expression.CyBrainX

  I ended up putting one more ) than was mathematically proper and the error went away. I wish I had a better explanation.
