However, you may store that into a real. Here is an example of Ceil,Dividing,Div, and floor. % Diving put 5 / 2 % = Outputs 2.5 REAL put 10 / 2 % = Outputs 2 REAL put 21 / 2 % = Outputs 10.5 REAL % Div { Divides without computing Remainders } put 5 div 2 % Outputs 2 INT put 10 div 2 % Outputs 5 INT put 21 div 2 % outputs 10 INT % Round put round (5 / 2) % Outputs 3 INT put round (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put round (21 / 2) % Outputs 11 INT % Ceil {Rounds UP Always} put ceil (5 / 2) % Outputs 3 INT put ceil (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put ceil (21 / 2) % Outputs 11 INT % Floor {Rounds Down Always} put floor (5 / 2) % Outputs 2 INT put floor (10 / 2) % Outputs 5 INT put floor (21 / 2) % Outputs 10 INT ----------------------------------- chipanpriest Wed Dec 21, 2011 12:35 pm RE:Syntax Error Help! ----------------------------------- Yea what he said and actually i didnt know about the ceil and floor commands either so thanks for that :p
