[solved] Division is returning a rounded number

[cdahmedeh]

I noticed that in MMF 1.5 and in the demo of MMF 2.0 that when I try to divide, I always get a rounded number.

Example : The input is 5/2, the output is 2.
The input is 52/10, the output is 5.

Why does it do this, I tried outputing this in a string and counter. Same result.

For some reason, MMF likes decimals since the start.
Divide 5/2.0 or 52 / 10.0 and you'll get a decimal result.

What if I wanted to divide the value of two edit boxes. How would I changed this :
(Edit Value( "Crag's Edit Object" ) / Edit Value( "Crag's Edit Object 2" ))

and make it work properly

Multiply them by 1.0

Have a hidden Edit Box and do the following:

Divide Button is clicked
>Set HiddenEditBox to text of EditBox1 + ".0"
>Set counter to value of HiddenEditBox / value of EditBox2

That should work.
