Integer Arithmetic

Integer

Liberty BASIC defaults to integer arithmethic arithmetic 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
