It is so hard to make a number with decimal places in DB even if you say a# = 5/10 then it still = 0 even with the hash. it still does it even if you say a# as float at the beggining. you have to say 5.0/10.0 to make it work even though it is a float type.

And another thing is you put floats as start or end values of a for next loop it comes up with an unknown syntax error.

Well, with a#=5/10, then its not really surprising as its both 5 and 10 are integers, the calulation is done on integers and then the result is converted to float - this happens with C too...

I dont know about your second point - the following works okay :



Good news everybody! I really am THAT good...

It's a bad idea using floats in a for next loop.
I'm surprised that its even supported.

If one or both of the operands to a arithmetic operator is float then the result is a float.
