300-(300 mod 29)/29 = 300!?

[Shadoku]

Am I missing something here? The above expresion should come out to 10, yet MMF seems to think it's 300... Can anyone reproduce this?

edit: I need to go back to grade school math

Well lets see now.
300 mod 29 is 10
10 divide by 29 is 0.34482758620689655172413793103448
300 minus 29 is 0.34482758620689655172413793103448 is 299.65517241379310344827586206897

I honsetly don't know how you got to 10.

MMF2 computes it in this order:

300 - (300 mod 29) / 29
--->
300 - 10 / 29
--->
300 - 0
--->
300

Since 10/29 is less than 1.00, MMF2 will round it down and compute it as 0. To use decimal calculations you can change the code to this:

300-(300 mod 29)/29.0

Which will give 299.655172 as the result

The problem was I was working it out on paper the same way I came up with it in the first place, so I was doing it like this: (300 - (300 mod 29)/29 but MMF was doing it the way it was supposed to be done.

Just needed to add that extra pair of brackets and everything works as it should now.
