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) / 100Code: 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 #scaleDoes it matter?OP never restricted the data type of width to integer though.
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.ebs wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2024 3:41 pmDoes it matter?OP never restricted the data type of width to integer though.
