Adding number and multiplication
|
Hello,
I am trying to add numbers or doing multiplication with decimals.
debug on
open (1,result.txt,5)
$a = 67.0
$b= 3.5
$d = $a + $b ;should be 70.5
$e = $a * $b ;should be 234.5
? $d
? $e
$d = ''+$d
$e = ''+$e
writeline (1,$d + @crlf + $e )
Does someone can help.
I also got some calculation in a variable to do with many decimals,
ex.: 45 * .067 and the result need to get 3 decimals.

So what is the problem?
$result = 45.0 * 0.067

What version of KiXtart are you using? Try using 4.51.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

The expression "45 * .067" will not work because
- .067 is not a valid number - you need to prefix the zero so it is 0.067
- 45 is an integer, so 0.067 will also be coerced to an integer making the expression "45 * 0" which will give a result of zero.
If you are unsure of the variant sub-type of variables, use the C*() functions to cast the variable to the right type. See CInt(), CDbl() and so-on in the manual.
FormatNumber() will fix decimal places:
Code:
FormatNumber(45.0 * 0.067,3) ?

Re: Adding number and multiplication

I'm assuming that the request for three decimal places in the output is a generic one rather than just that particular expression but I may have mis-understood the requirements.
Nice smiley

Re: Adding number and multiplication

I dunno... the formula I posted returns three decimal places (3.015) without FormatNumber()?
As for those pesky smileys... I dunno... I just type a colon and a p and that shows up.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

I did try all this and none is working, I never got a result with decimal.
The number I want to use is in a variable like in my example at the beginning.
I might be nuts but I can not make it work. Please just right me an example of small script to get a result with decimal and i will go from there.
Thanks to all for your help.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

Are you sure that the KiX is version 4.51? Maybe there is another version on the path?
Try the following:
Code:
Break on
@KiX ?
$result = 45.0 * 0.067
$result ?
The result I get is:

4.51
3.015

Re: Adding number and multiplication

Re: Adding number and multiplication

My OS is windows 2000 pro.
This is my whole script, well I add a line
sleep 5 in order to view the result.
Once i will be able to get a decimal result, I will be able to make the scrip I need.

Strange...
Test it on another computer. That one is FUBAR'd.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

Dit test on another computer the result was OK.
I did put my decimal as a (,) in my regional setting instead of a period (.) on the other computer and it is now working fine.
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

I wonder... is KiX affected by localization? Your computer may be configured for other than the english regional settings. Don't some localizations replace the decimal place with a comma?

Re: Adding number and multiplication

I am in Montreal Canada, I am setting computer with , or . for decimal.
It did start working when I did change to , for decimal.
Try it on your computer, just change for a . for decimal and you will see the result.
Thanks

I recognize the French Canadian accent. My company's head office is in Montreal and I have worked there from time to time.
Glad you got it sorted out.

Re: Adding number and multiplication

well, I asked for the OS language long time ago and never got a response.
anyways, having the decimal point as "," in the regional settings does not affect kixtart behaviour.
but, iirc, french windows does perform differently.
anyway, might be something worth for calling ruud.
