How to round/convert a constant to integer?

[matalog]

If I define a couple of constants, #scale=#width/1.9 that is fine and allowed, but if I definitely want that constant to be an integer, then I don't seem to be allowed to round the value or set it as a variable that was rounded. Int() doesn't seem to be allowed on constants either.

What options do I have?

My idea, untested, is to scale calculation up to use only integers and then scale it back down.

Code: Select all

scale=((#width * 100) / 190) / 100

I'm confused - the code below works fine. Is this what you're trying to do or did I misunderstand?

Code: Select all

#width = 800
#scale=#width/1.9

Debug #scale          ; prints "421.0526315789474"
Debug Int(#scale)     ; prints "421"
var = Int(#scale)
Debug var             ; prints "421"

Code: Select all

#width = 800
#scale = #width * 10/19

Debug #width
Debug #scale

OP never restricted the data type of width to integer though.

Does it matter?

Code: Select all

#width = 832.9
#scale=#width/1.9

Debug #width          ; prints "832.89999999999998"
Debug #scale          ; prints "438.36842105263156"
Debug Int(#scale)     ; prints "438"
var = Int(#scale)
Debug var             ; prints "438"

Yes, he wants to define the constant depending on another constant and the result should be integer. OP doesn't want to use Int(#scale) everywhere, it could be easily forgotten to call Int(), the constant itself is required to contain the integer value to make it less error prone.
