hey every one,
ive been playing around with darkBASIC for awhile. I just now came across this problem. long story short i cant figure out how to conver fractions into decimals.
when i type
1/2 i should get .5
4/3 i should get 1.333333333333333333333333333333333
it just gives zero!
things that are simple like:
1/1
4/2
9/3
etec. are working. And yes i have tried adding a # to the end of my variables

This is my home Profile, im AKA DBasic Kahn

At least one of the operators in the equation have to have a .0 at the end or be a float variable to divide into a float result.

if you are saving the result to a variable it must be a floating point variable



The # at the end declares it a float

You probably knew that but I still sometimes forget to add it in and wonder why my code is all screwed up

Something really catchy that makes people stop and think about the meaning of life and say to themselves "My but thats clever"
