Why does the last line in the code Not work?

Peter

Define rDouble.d
Define iInteger.i
iInteger = 4096
rDouble = (iInteger / 1024)
rDouble = (4096 >> 10)
rDouble = (iInteger >> 10)

When assigning to a double, the whole expression is casted to double, even if parenthesis are used. Constants are resolved at compile time, that's why it's a bit different.

Ok, thanks. I noticed the syntax error with FormatNumber() and I didn't understand it.
