1.5 on a counter object

[Robin_Manager]

Hi,

How do you get point numbers (1.5 , 2.7526) on a counter?

[Werbad]

Set counter to 1.5

Haha, seriously, how couldn't you find that out on your own? :P
It's SO obvious.

No, I want to do a Physics sum and it keeps rounding the numbers up (or down). I really need to know and don't be so cheeky

[Looki]

Ah. Are you using the / operator?
You have to add .0 to both the divisor then, for example:

10/3 = 3
10/3.0 = 3.333...

OK, I admit, I am trying to make a Physics calculator so what you have said is very good, but how do I use this with edit boxes because what is happening is that it gets the values of the boxes and does the some. (yes, its the / and *)

EDIT - When is put something like 0.5 in the first Edit box, 0.5 in the second Edit box (the answer should be 0.25) it comes out as 0

[Werbad]

Edit boxes Get Numeric Value expression will remove decimals. Use val(EditText$("Edit Box")) instead to retrieve decimals.

Sorry for all the questions so how would you use this to calculate the following:

State:
Edit box one = 0.5
Edit box two = 0.5

Answer = Edit box one * Edit box two
Answer 2 = Edit box one / Edit box two
Answer 3 Edit box one + Edit box two
Answer 4 = Edit box one - Edit box two

[Looki]

Answer = val(EditText$("Edit Box")) * val(EditText$("Edit Box 2"))
Answer 2 = val(EditText$("Edit Box")) / (val(EditText$("Edit Box 2"))*1.0)

etc.. I think *1.0 is only needed for division.

I am doing this

Val(Edittext$( "Force" ))/Val(Edittext$( "Acceleration" ))*1.0

And it comes out as 0 when the force value is 10 and the acc = 100
