[6.40] Floats and integers
|
I'm trying to convert some ints into floats.
#show %eval(%float(1) / %float(3)) gives 1,0,0 instead of 0.33.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug related to locales? |

Could be a bug. The same code give 0.33 for me. Try e-mailing Zugg.

Yeah, it was already noted at one point right before 6.40 came out. Zugg is actually using a decimal in some places while using regional settings in other places or something along those lines. Since the regional settings don't match, a different route through the parser is taken.

it seems i have the same prob:
#math a %float(5)/3
#show @a
it says 0
#show %float(5)
5,0
i'm using zmud 6.40, german windows xp
just tried %eval(%float(1) / %float(3)),
and it also says 1,0,0
is this fixed in the beta yet? or is there any workaround? |

as a workaround, i changed my regional settings in windows. the drawback is that ALL programs now use this "weird" way of displaying numbers.
for the german folks having the same problem (only tested in win xp):
"Klicken Sie zum Öffnen von Regions- und Sprachoptionen auf Start, klicken Sie auf Systemsteuerung, und doppelklicken Sie dann auf Regions- und Sprachoptionen." (quote from windows help system)
then click on "Anpassen", and change
"Dezimaltrennzeichen" to "." and "Symbol für Zifferngruppiering" to "," |
