That's how programming works!
You're lucky you are using DB - which makes it easier for you. Some languages make you declare all variables prior to using them and won't run if you declare a variable as one type but try to store something else in it.
By rights, any float (#) variable in DB
should contain a decimal point value Eg: A#=12.0 or A#=12.33 though DB is lenient and allows you to use A#=12 instead of A#=12.0 without erroring.
6/4 is an
integer calculation and forces an integer result whereas 6.0/4.0 is a
float calculation. Programming languages have both types of number because float calculations are a lot slower than integer and the majority of calculations tend to be integer anyway.
