ttlanhil Report post Posted July 23, 2005 there's an easy way if you're a computer programmer print (int)2.6 + (int)2.6 = (int)(2.6 + 2.6) what the (int) does is makes it only use the integer part of the number, ie (int)2.6 comes out as 2, and (int)5.2 comes out as 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placid Report post Posted July 24, 2005 are you like a genius or something 182356[/snapback] That just means he knows how to program Integers (or int's) are numbers without a decimal place. Programming languages have integers, but because they cannot contain decimals, the use of casting ( (int)2.5 for example) is necessary for the code to compile; as 2.5 is not an integer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragburn Report post Posted July 26, 2005 btw is that BASIC? decided i should probably learn programing and the print command kinda has led me to believe it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chatterbug89 Report post Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Please note that not all languages allow you to assign what type of string/number/char they are...for example BASH shells cripting But..you can always strip otu everythign past .blablabla ... Not being able to assign variable types can be both good and bad in programing/scripting :S It can simplify thigns, yet make them much harder in another way. I'm curiouse about that calculus equation he mentioned...mmm EDIT: Before someoen starts arguing with me...yes variables are one type or another in BASH and other languages that do variables like it, BUT you can't make it so that your variable will be an interger, char, string, etc no matter what like you can wiht C/C++ .
