Specifiers

A way to specify the form of a number
Soulver supports a number of different "specifiers" that let you choose how your answer is displayed.
Decimals
Strip the unit, rate or percentage from a number
$100 as number                                        | 100
40/day as number                                      | 40
20% as number                                         | 0.2
Fractions
Display the answer as a fraction, if possible
2/10 as fraction                                        | 1/5
50% as fraction                                         | 1/2
Percentages
Convert to a percentage. Note that 0.5 is 50%, 2 is 200%.
0.35 as %                                             | 35%
2/5 as percent                                        | 40%
Decimal Places
Specify the amount of decimal places to round an answer to. This will override the line's default precision settings.
1/3 to 2 dp                                            | 0.33
π to 5 digits                                          | 3.14159
Timespans
A timespan is a quantity of time that includes multiple components (from the year down to the second)
5.5 minutes as timespan              | 5 minutes 30 seconds
10 days as timespan                  | 1 week 3 days
Timestamps
​Unix time is a system for describing a moment in time, often used by programmers. A timestamp is number of seconds that have passed since the "reference date" (January 1st, 1970).
Convert a date to a timestamp
April 1, 2019 to timestamp               | 1554109200
Convert a timestamp back into a date
1559740303.48 to date                    | 5 June 2019 at 11:11 pm
To get a timestamp for the present moment, use new timestamp
new timestamp                                | 1559740303.48
