The problem is that your code compiles, runs and exits almost instantaneously.

What you need is either a loop, as demonstrated by BatVink above; or a pause; such as Wait key

And if that variable is ever going to be a decimal it's fine the way it is but if it's never going to be a decimal (like 95.3) then drop the # to make it an integer (a whole number).



You really should check out TDKs tutorials to learn the basics of Darkbasic.
