  simple question

  Oct 28, 2005 10:05 AM|LINK

  suddenlly, my code started to trim the "after point" numbers, so that if i use:
  
  dim i as int16 = 2/3
  dim o as int16 = i * 5
  
  o is zero!!
  
  how can i fix it, or use the full number?
  
  i know it should be simple, but i couldn't find it in the online help...

  As 2/3 = 0.6666... and i is declared as int16, so the fractional part is knocked off. So i = 0. Therefor o = i*5=0.
  
  Edit: Are you sure o = 0, i just tried it out returns i = 1 after round of. So o = 5.
  Declare both i and o as Double. This will solve it.
