xp math equation help
i want to make the same formula runescape has for leveling up in my code but i am unsure of how to put the equation in javascript here is my current code 
 #pragma strict
 var gain : boolean = false;
 var i = 10;
 var xp = 0;
 var lvl = 1;
 var x = 0;
 var lvlup : boolean = false;
 var item : GameObject;
 var spawn : Transform;
 
 var w = 0;
 
 function Start () {
 
 }
 
 function Update () 
 {
     //runescape math equation here
     x = w;
     
     
     if(gain)
     {
         xp += i;
         gain = false;
     }
     
     if(xp >= x)
     {
         lvlup = true;
     }
     if(lvlup)
     {
         lvl += 1;
         xp = xp - x;
         lvlup = false;
     }
 }
 function OnGUI()
 {
     if(GUI.Button(Rect(0, 0, 100, 100), "xp"))
     {
         Instantiate(item, spawn.position, spawn.rotation);
     }
     GUI.Box(Rect(0, 0, 100, 50), xp.ToString());
 }
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
 {
     if(other.tag == "xpgain")
     {
         gain = true;
     }
 }
Do you really need that complex of an equation??!! This is extra computation for little bonus. If you were in a paid project and I would be paying you, I would tell you to keep that once all the core of the game is ready. But reality is I am not paying you so you can use it...
i like the equation it uses its good for my game granted i will change it by a small value but im trying to figure out how to plug that into my script in few lines as possible

If you need to write a formula in your script, here(I wtrite on Java):
  function getNextExp(int curLvl): float {
   var nextExp: float = 1; // I initializate this value, because in case curLvl = 1, your formula don't work
   var tempic: float = 0;
   for(var i: int = 1; i <= curLvl -1; i++) {
    tempic = tempic + Mathf.Floor(i + 300*Mathf.Pow(2, i/7));
   }
   tempic = Mathf.Floor(tempic / 4);
   if (tempic > 0) {
    nextExp = tempic;
   }
   return nextExp;
  }
I hope it to you will help. But it is possible, for computation of XP it is better to use parabolic or logarithmic functions.
