#math problems
|
I've tried numerous permutations of %float and %format to get this right, but it's still not working - so I come begging once again for help!
#MATH weight %format(2,((%float(@weightlb) + %format(2,%float((@weightoz/16))))))
Basically, if @weightlb = 2 and @weightoz = 4, @weight should = 2.25. The above (and every other version I've tried) always returns 2.00.
What gives?
Thanks! |

do this, #MATH weight %format(2,((%float(@weightlb) + %format(2,%float((@weightoz/16.0))))))

#MATH is depreciated in CMUD, just enclose your equation in parenthesis
The %float function is unneeded so long as one of the numbers in your equation is already floating point.
weight=%format(2, (@weightlb+(@weightoz/16.0))) |

Thanks. I figured it was something arcane - and I was right!
