moltiplied two decimal value from edit box, is possible?

[daniele]

you can have a decimal value with the counter?
I have two values ​​taken from two edit box
the first has a value of 13000
the second has a value of 0.2365
If I add a counter to the value of the first number multiplied by the value of the second, the result is zero because the only 'action should multiply and multiply 13000x 0 and not 13000x0, 2365
how can I do?
Regards

Just never use the "get numeric value" expression.

Bad: Edit Value( "Edit Box" )
Good: Val(Edittext$( "Edit Box" ))

thanks a lot.. work fine

[daniele]

NO!!! I still have a problem. I tried to do a simple operation on a counter.
every second...add to counter 75/1000 , but this istruction does not work when it should generate as a result of 13.33333 ...

how do I get a decimal number with the division.
if I do a multiplication result has a comma, and if I am going to share with zero, the counter does not mark anything.

if I have this formula instead of result, but without values ​​decimal
every second...add to counter 75x13.5 is work

[daniele]

INCREDIBLE... work if add to final numer (.0) why??
only second, add to counter 75/1000.0 is correct
only second, add to counter 75/1000 NOT CORRECT Why???

75.0/1000

You have to introduce a decimal number in the equation, if not MMF2 ( expression editor? ) does not return a decimal number ( but rather treats it like an integer? )
It can be troubblesome when working with big or complicated equations/ calculations wich require a decimal output, but its just the way it is

Yeah, MMF2 treats numbers as integers (without a decimal) until it finds one explicitly defined with a decimal. This means that a calculation done on two integers will result in an integer.

To convert values that you retrieve from an expression to a floating-point value, the easiest way is to multiply by 1.0.

that's great, now I understand this too. every now and then I saw in several examples and tutorials, a number like this at the end (100.0), but I did not understand. I tried in my education and ow it works well. Thanks for your help
