question about decimal numbers

[Attus]

its possible to multiply decimal numbers using the double precision calculator or another math object?

[droberson]

I would say yes. Give an example of what you want to do. For example, how many decimal places after the period are needed?
Range of numbers?

I need to multiply 100 for 6,50 how to do it?

[Yves]

You don't need any specific object for that, just type 100 * 6.5 in the expression editor.

[Attus]

oh my...I was using , instead of .

Anyone know if the Counter object can use decimals? I could only get it to show an int.

[Yves]

Yes, it automatically displays decimals when it contains a floating point number. Just try Set Counter to 100*6.5, that will work.

If you want to make sure it displays the decimals even if you set it to an integer value, multiply the integer value by 1.0, e.g. Set Counter to _expression_ * 1.0

And play with the properties of the object to change the number of decimals to display.
