Integer Arithmetic
-
CarlGundel Integer
Liberty BASIC defaults to integer arithmethic unless you do something that produces a floating point result. For example:a = 3 + 4 'integer calculation
for x = 1 to 10 'integer calculation
Floating Point
Or floating point:a = 0.3 + 0.4 'floating point
Convert Float to Integer
If a floating point result has a zero fractional part (this doesn't happen too often), then LB will convert it to an integer number on assignment. This is dependent on the math processor, and probably other variables.a = 0.3 + 0.7 'may become an integer on assignment
