Answer 1

hi you have to break down your conditions and then code for them.
for e.ge.
if actual == 0
  vart = 0.
else if actual-target ==0
          vart = 0.001
       else
         vart = actual -target
       endif
endif
now we start with first condition use operators from boolean catagory
(Actual != 0)*(other amount)
this solves first if condition... if actual  = 0 value actual != 0 will be zero we got our desired value.
if other case then we have give else condition.
(Actual != 0)*(((actual - target) == 0 )*0.001+((actual-target)!=0)*(actual-target))
in the second half we have coded the else part.
in the same way you can proceed for your logic
