"#const=1/4" equates to 0 - miscalc but no compilererror

maybe there should be either a compiler alert for this or a correct calculation (it caused a bug which took me a while to track down):

Code: Select all

#const = 1/4   ;i was assuming this would convert to 0.25 as the compiler didnt complain
Debug Str(#const)   ;= 0
Debug StrF(#const)  ;= 0

tested in Windows PB 5.44

Looks fine to me as you are specifying integers for the constant.
If you want floats, you can use floats for the constant.

Code: Select all

#const = 1.0/4.0

It's enough, if one part is a float
