Whenever I do division in DBP the result is always a whole number. If I wanted the result to end up in a decimal form such as 0.003, how would I go about doing this?

Welcome to the forums

If you divide 2 integer numbers, it will give you an integer result:

3 / 2 = 1

If you want a float, then do this:

3 / 2.0 = 1.5

And when storing them in a var make sure you put a # behind the var so darkbasic knows it is a float:

Remember, as BatVink mentioned, when using operators with floats don't forget to add in atleast one ".0" if you are operating with integers. For example

will print "1" even though it is a float.


will print "1.5" because there is a ".0" at the end of "2"
