| Math | Hugo provides six mathematical operators in templates. | 2017-02-01 | 2017-02-01 | 2017-02-01 |

false | false |
There are 6 basic mathematical operators that can be used in Hugo templates:
| Function | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
add |
Adds two integers. | {{add 1 2}} → 3 |
div |
Divides two integers. | {{div 6 3}} → 2 |
mod |
Modulus of two integers. | {{mod 15 3}} → 0 |
modBool |
Boolean of modulus of two integers. Evaluates to true if = 0. |
{{modBool 15 3}} → true |
mul |
Multiplies two integers. | {{mul 2 3}} → 6 |
sub |
Subtracts two integers. | {{sub 3 2}} → 1 |
Use add with Strings
You can also use the add function with strings. You may like this functionality in many use cases, including creating new variables by combining page- or site-level variables with other strings.
For example, social media sharing with Twitter Cards requires the following meta link in your site's <head> to display Twitter's "Summary Card with Large Image":
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://yoursite.com/images/my-twitter-image.jpg">
Let's assume you have an image field in the front matter of each of your content files:
---
title: My Post
image: my-post-image.jpg
---
You can then concatenate the image value (string) with the path to your images directory in static and leverage a URL-related templating function for increased flexibility:
{{% code file="partials/head/twitter-card.html" %}}
{{$socialimage := add "images/" .Params.image}}
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{{ $socialimage | absURL }}">
{{% /code %}}
{{% note %}}
The add example above makes use of the absURL function. absURL and its relative companion relURL is the recommended way to construct URLs in Hugo.
{{% /note %}}
