#34806 - 2003-01-06 05:13 PM Long Integers revisited
h00kupz h00kupz Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-17 Posts: 14 Loc: Atlanta	I have a problem with long integers when trying to convert a number from what kix would interperet as a string to a floating point value. With this snipet of code: quote: Dim $x $x = 389955656444 $x = $x + 355658985665.0 ? $x ? How would I got about first converting $x to a floating point value in order for the addition function to return the proper value? I tried outputting the info to a file and reading it back in after adding the decimal like so: quote: Dim $x Dim $y Dim $z $z = 355688999545.0 $x = "389955656444" Open(1,%TEMP%\Test.txt,5) WriteLine(1,"$x.0") Close(1) Open(1,%TEMP%\Test.txt,2) $y = ReadLine(1) ? $y ? Close(1) $x = ($y + $z) ? $x ? To no avail. Any Ideas? Output displays 389955656444.0355688999545 as if it's trying to combine the 2 as strings. Running v4.12 of kix32.exe. _________________________ Select * from users where clue > 0 [b]0 rows affected.[/b]

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Look up CINT, CDBL, FIX in the KiXtart Manual. code: $x = cdbl('389955656444') $x = 389955656444.0 $x = $x + 355658985665.0 ? $x ? there has also been a long discussion on integer/doubles/floats and variable type precedences a couple of months ago. Please use the KiXtart BBS search to retrieve that topic. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

h00kupz h00kupz Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-17 Posts: 14 Loc: Atlanta	Ok I feel like a dumb a*, Why wouldn't the following code work... Can you not pass cdbl a variable? I tried it the following 2 ways: code: Dim $w Dim $x Dim $y Dim $z $w = "'389955656444'" $x = CDbl($w) $y = 355688999545.0 $z = $x + $y ? $z ? and... code: Dim $w Dim $x Dim $y Dim $z $w = 389955656444 $x = CDbl('$w') $y = 355688999545.0 $z = $x + $y ? $z ? I tried searching the forum for cdbl() syntax to no avail... _________________________ Select from users where clue > 0 [b]0 rows affected.[/b]

h00kupz h00kupz Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-07-17 Posts: 14 Loc: Atlanta	Thanks Shane. You were right that got everything straightened out. So if you are look for a long integer solution here it is short and sweet. (Sorry to put that in there however I haven't found a definitive answer in any other threads). Thanks to everyone for setting me straight. _________________________ Select * from users where clue > 0 [b]0 rows affected.[/b]
