if i run in cmud...

#math value (35000\%1)*100

where %1 = 56000

the answer is returned as 3500000

if i do it on a calculator the answer is 62.5

any idea what this is about?

also is there a way to round a number up. or round a number in a variable up

thanks

First, you have \ which is the %mod operator and not the division operator. I think you want to use / for division.

Second, CMUD does not perform floating point math by default. To force floating point, you need to add a decimal .0 to your first number, or use the %float command. So your correct command would be:

#MATH value (35000.0/%1)*100

also, you don't really need the #MATH command anymore. That just remains left over from zMUD compatibility. The better way to do this is just:

value = (35000.0/%1)*100

thats great. thanks for that. anyone able to tell me how to round a whole number up inside a variable? eg 2.24242 becomes 3.

thanks

There's no built-in function for that.

#function roundup($value) {
#if (%pos(".",$value)) {$value = %left(@value,(%pos(".",@value) - 1))}
#return $value
}

Or Format it to a 0 decimal point floating number and it will automaticly round

%format("&0.0f",$value)

%format uses normal rounding rules, so 2.4 becomes 2 rather than 3.

when making my own function that way how would i use it?

ive tried the usual way to use functions without much luck eg #say %roundup(@myvar)

use @ instead of %. % is reserved for functions (and wildcards/variables) that Zugg creates as part of the zscript definition.

#IF (@Var>%int(@Var)) {var=(%int(@var)+1)}
