I would appreciate it, if the output of Debug would be more flexible and thus sometimes more precise.

Currently, e.g. displays

0

(tested with the internal debugger of PB 5.11 and PB 5.20 beta 16).

In order to see the correct result 0.4, we have to write It seems that Debug rounds the result of the division down to an integer, before displaying it.

It would be nice if would display 0.4.

Thanks for considering this suggestion.

Code: Select all

Debug 2/5

would display 0.4.

2/5 is an integer division, so 0 is the correct result. Have you tried 'Debug 2.0/5.0'? That should work.

Even just "Debug 2.0/5" works. All you need is a float somewhere
in the equation, and the whole equation is done as a float. That's
how PureBasic does calculations.

Oops, I had forgotten about that. Thanks!
