Dear Support I'm obviously missing something simple but as I'm not a programmer this is a little confusing. Can someone help explain why the increased precision results in a 0? float& Simple_calc1 = sc.GetPersistentFloat(1); double& Simple_calc2 = sc.GetPersistentDouble(1); Simple_calc1 = 10/5; // ignoring use of 10.0f/5.0f Simple_calc2 = 10/5; msg.Format("Simple Calculation using float = %f",Simple_calc1); sc.AddMessageToLog(msg,1); msg.Format("Simple Calculation using double = %d",Simple_calc2); sc.AddMessageToLog(msg,1); Message Log output: Simple Calculation using float = 2.0 Simple Calculation using double = 0 //? Many thanks for any help. |

When using the format function d means signed integer, you need to use f in both cases.

Thank you, for some reason I'd made a mental note %D was a double hence greater precision, not an integer. When I did a quick search there it was, Int Base 10. So, output was consistent with C++ as opposed to my mental note. Many thanks for replying. |
