XPath Number Operators/ Functions Example

Let’s take an example to create a table of <employee> element with its attribute id and its child <firstname>,<lastname> <nickname> and <salary>. It calculates salary of the employees and then displays the result.

Employee.xml

 <?xml version = “1.0”?> <?xml-stylesheet type = “text/xsl” href=”../employee.xsl”?> <class>    <employee id = “001”>       <firstname>Abhiram</firstname>       <lastname>Kushwaha</lastname>       <nickname>Manoj</nickname>       <salary>15000</salary>    </employee>    <employee id = “002”>       <firstname>Akash</firstname>       <lastname>Singh</lastname>       <nickname>Bunty</nickname>       <salary>25000</salary>    </employee>     <employee id = “003”>       <firstname>Brijesh</firstname>       <lastname>Kaushik</lastname>       <nickname>Ballu</nickname>       <salary>20000</salary>    </employee>     <employee id = “004”>       <firstname>Zoya</firstname>       <lastname>Mansoori</lastname>       <nickname>Sonam</nickname>       <salary>30000</salary>    </employee> </class> 

Employee.xsl

 <?xml version = “1.0” encoding = “UTF-8”?> <xsl:stylesheet version = “1.0”    xmlns:xsl = “http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”>      <xsl:template match = “/”>       <html>          <body>             <h2>Employee</h2>             <table border = “1”>                <tr bgcolor = “pink”>                   <th>ID</th>                   <th>First Name</th>                   <th>Last Name</th>                   <th>Nick Name</th>                   <th>Salary</th>                   <th>Grade</th>                </tr>                <xsl:for-each select = “class/employee”>                   <tr>                      <td><xsl:value-of select = “@id”/></td>                      <td><xsl:value-of select = “firstname”/></td>                      <td><xsl:value-of select = “lastname”/></td>                      <td><xsl:value-of select = “nickname”/></td>                      <td><xsl:value-of select = “salary”/></td>                      <td>                         <xsl:choose>                            <xsl:when test = “salary div 25000 > 1”>                               High                            </xsl:when>                            <xsl:when test = “salary div 20000 > 1”>                               Medium                            </xsl:when>                            <xsl:otherwise>                               Low                            </xsl:otherwise>                         </xsl:choose>                      </td>                   </tr>                </xsl:for-each>             </table>          </body>       </html>    </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
