| This is so annoying. Can anyone explain why, Print 1/2 If (1/2)<>.5 Print "There's a problem" spits out, 0 There's a problem instead of just .5? |

| 1 and 2 are treated as integer, therefore the result will also be integer. To get a float result, either or both sides of your equation should also be a float Print 1/2.0 |

| /\ True....and your example still may not work. Generally speaking, don't compare floating point values with =. Instead use something that allows for some errors, e.g: To check if x 'equals' 0.5: if (abs(x-0.5)<0.0001) |

| >This is so annoying. Can anyone explain why, 2 issues. Blitz expects you to use floats in if you want floats out... Secondly. Floats are inherently imprecise, which means that you should not compare floats to precise numbers. Andy |
