Math with decimals

Post subject:  Math with decimals
code:

var number1:int
get numberone
numberone * 2
print numberone


How do I make it so that numberone has a decimal in it and still be able to do math with it?

Example output I would like:
code:

2.3
4.6

Data type of integer uses whole numbers with no decimal places.
so your datatype should be (been a long time since I used hideous turing) Double, Float, Real or Decimal...whatever turing uses

You could simply use real variables instead:

code:

var real_number : real


Also, you don't print output in Turing, you put it Wink.

Thanks

And allmost every other language uses print why does turing use put?

Why does Ruby use 'puts'? I'm not sure there's a satisfactory answer to that. If it makes you feel better, you could add this to an Output module:

code:

procedure print (text : string)
   put text
end print
% And add others for ints, reals, etc, since Turing can't handle function overloading.

code:

var num : real
get real
put real :0:2


That would print the number with 2 decimals even if it didnt have any,

Example : 2.00

but, that would be without rounding
