ComfyUI Node: Float Math

Float Math:

The CyclistMathFloat node is designed to perform basic floating-point arithmetic operations between two variables. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to manipulate numerical values within their workflows without delving into complex programming. It supports a variety of operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and finding the maximum or minimum of two numbers. By providing a straightforward interface for these operations, the CyclistMathFloat node simplifies the process of numerical computation, allowing you to focus more on the creative aspects of your projects.

Float Math Input Parameters:

operation

The operation parameter specifies the type of arithmetic operation to be performed between the two floating-point numbers. The available options are "addition", "subtraction", "multiplication", "division", "exponentiation", "max", and "min". This parameter determines the mathematical function that will be applied, directly impacting the result of the node's execution.

float_1

The float_1 parameter represents the first floating-point number to be used in the arithmetic operation. It accepts values ranging from the minimum to the maximum representable floating-point numbers in Python. The default value is 1.0. This parameter is crucial as it serves as one of the operands in the specified arithmetic operation.

float_2

The float_2 parameter represents the second floating-point number to be used in the arithmetic operation. Similar to float_1, it accepts values ranging from the minimum to the maximum representable floating-point numbers in Python, with a default value of 1.0. This parameter is equally important as it serves as the other operand in the specified arithmetic operation.

Float Math Output Parameters:

FLOAT

The FLOAT output parameter is the result of the specified arithmetic operation performed on float_1 and float_2. This output provides the computed floating-point value, which can then be used in subsequent nodes or processes within your workflow. The interpretation of this value depends on the chosen operation, such as the sum, difference, product, quotient, power, maximum, or minimum of the two input numbers.

Float Math Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the operation parameter is set correctly to match the desired arithmetic function you wish to perform.
• Be mindful of the values assigned to float_1 and float_2, especially when performing division, to avoid division by zero errors.
• Utilize the max and min operations to easily compare two floating-point numbers and obtain the larger or smaller value.

Float Math Common Errors and Solutions:

Float math operation is not in the list

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified operation parameter does not match any of the predefined operations.
• Solution: Verify that the operation parameter is set to one of the following: "addition", "subtraction", "multiplication", "division", "exponentiation", "max", or "min".

Division by zero

• Explanation: This error occurs when attempting to divide by zero, which is mathematically undefined.
• Solution: Ensure that the value of float_2 is not zero when performing a division operation. Adjust the input values accordingly to avoid this error.
