Error when multiplying variables

[omalisson]

Good night friends!

I'm having trouble making a multiplication between two variables where the result output is "NaN".
When I do the multiplication using the operand as the input payload and multiply it by a global variable, it works.

Below is my flow with the result "NaN":

[{"id":"dae1fa58.ce9168","type":"ui_template","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","group":"6f658e33.ccd82","name":"Total R$","order":1,"width":0,"height":0,"format":"<div ng-bind-html=\"msg.payload\"></div>","storeOutMessages":true,"fwdInMessages":true,"resendOnRefresh":true,"templateScope":"local","x":700,"y":200,"wires":[["a24447fb.42a658"]]},{"id":"1b51bd6c.6b1273","type":"function","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","name":"","func":"var conv = msg.payload[0];\nvar dolar = flow.get(\"usdt\");\nvar total = conv*dolar;\n\nmsg.payload = 'R$ '+total;\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":560,"y":200,"wires":[["dae1fa58.ce9168"]]},{"id":"22a1b4a.ffdfa4c","type":"http request","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","name":"USDT","method":"GET","ret":"txt","paytoqs":"ignore","url":"https://www.infomoney.com.br/cotacoes/tether-usdt/","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","x":270,"y":200,"wires":[["adffe6f0.7f85f8"]]},{"id":"d7c3558c.b91758","type":"inject","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"300","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":120,"y":200,"wires":[["22a1b4a.ffdfa4c"]]},{"id":"adffe6f0.7f85f8","type":"html","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","name":"total","property":"payload","outproperty":"payload","tag":"div.value>p","ret":"html","as":"single","x":420,"y":200,"wires":[["95966ffb.5c222","a24447fb.42a658","1b51bd6c.6b1273"]]},{"id":"a24447fb.42a658","type":"debug","z":"6e917fb5.ac771","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":870,"y":160,"wires":[]},{"id":"6f658e33.ccd82","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Saldo em Reais","tab":"5fb77a02.18daa4","order":3,"disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":false},{"id":"5fb77a02.18daa4","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"Demo - CCM","icon":"visibility","disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

Here is the test done using the node input:

I thank you for your attention and help from the Friends!

Try outputing your vars to see what you have. I think one will be undefined.

var conv = msg.payload[0];
var dolar = flow.get("usdt");
var total = conv*dolar;
node.warn(`dolar is - ${dolar}, conv is - ${conv}`)
msg.payload = 'R$ '+total;
return msg;

Thanks for the return Friend!

How do I know if the variable has been defined as undefined when in the debug node it has the desired output?
See the print:

[E1cid]

Have you tried the code example "node.warn()" to output your vars? This will allow you to see what your vars when the code runs.

@E1cid

var conv = msg.payload[0];

Are you expecting the input payload to be an array? From the screen shot, it appears to be a string, but i'm not sure -- if the payload is a string, then you will be getting only the first character from it, and I doubt that is what you want...

As E1cid pointed out, add more debug nodes to your flow, and warn statements to your function code.

Good morning mate!
In fact I ended up not testing your version, because I confess that I understood that your intention was to know if the variables "dollar" and "conv" were receiving values (which is true) or if they were empty.
I will add your line and perform the test to see the result.

Thanks for the feedback!

[omalisson]

Good morning mate!
Yes, the payload is an array, hence the indication of the position "[0]" which is where the information I am looking for is located.
See the print below:

I will add the code of our friend E1cid to help debug this case and return with the information.

Thank you very much for your support!

Your issue is msg.payload[0] is "R$ 5,4".
When you times this string by any number you will get a NaN, You need to remove the "R$ " from the string. Also replace the "," with a "."
e.g.

var conv = Number(msg.payload[0].substr(2).replace(",", "."));

[omalisson]

Truth!
As the decimal separators are different between BRL and USD in fact the account does not close.
As for the prefix "R $" I already remove it exactly with the "substr" when I create the variable.
I'll do this test this afternoon to see if it works!

Thank you one more time!
