integer pay_amount;
integer com_amount;
pay_amount = 100;
com_amount = pay_amount * 0.20;
Can anyone tell me why that should come up with a 'type mismatch' error??

only thing i can think of
02-09-2007 20:22
i believe in the wiki somwhere i saw a integer multiplied by a float (which is what .20 would be i think) returns a float instead of an integer.
its only aguess on my part im not that good with scripting, or building or really anything for that matter

I think Damet is right (see Damet, you *are* good at something  . Why not just make pay_amount and com_amount floats instead of integers? That compiles error-free on my editor. |

From: Alexis Starbrook integer pay_amount;
integer com_amount;
pay_amount = 100;
com_amount = pay_amount * 0.20;
Can anyone tell me why that should come up with a 'type mismatch' error?? com_amount = (integer)((float)pay_amount * 0.20); That will give you an integer answer - the 1st reply was correct you cannot mix an integer and a float. |

This worked. integer pay_amount; integer com_amount; float pamt=(float)pay_amount; float camt=pamt * 0.20; com_amount = (integer)camt; I know the above poster did it all on one line, but I have to do it the hard way  Thanks for the help... Muchly Appreciated! Cheers |
