division?

[PT Exorcist]

if i divide 10 / 4 ill get a 2 when i should get a 2,5..in vb if we did 10 \ 4 we'd get a 2,5 and if we did 10 / 4 we'd get a 2...but how do i do the \ in C#? i noticed the MOD operator doesnt exist in C# too =\

[PT Exorcist]

i saw on msdn and it says the / is overloaded...but how da hell do i do to make that when i want it to have decimal and not decimal then?

[Lethal]

When integers are used with arithmetic operators, an integer is returned and any remainder is discarded. When floating-point numbers are used with arithmetic expressions, a floating-point number is returned.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	double returnVal = 0;
	returnVal = (10 / 4f);
	Console.WriteLine(returnVal);
}

Also, the mod operator is: %

[PT Exorcist]

            int iMax = nTab.Width / IMAGE_WIDTH;
            MessageBox.Show(iMax.ToString()); 

what do i do?

[Lethal]

You are assigned the result to an integer. Do you want a whole number or floating-point #?

[PT Exorcist]

hmm i dont get what u mean...nTab = 777 and IMAGE_WIDTH is 115...i want it to return 6,7565217391304347826086956521739

[Lethal]

   double dMax = (nTab.Width / IMAGE_WIDTH);

[PT Exorcist]

ah it has to be a double?

[PT Exorcist]

not working dude

[Lethal]

Yep, integral numbers discard any decimal values.

[Lethal]

what is the return?

[PT Exorcist]

ah so 1st i must convert all the values to double right?

[PT Exorcist]

is 6 lol

[Lethal]

You must be working with integer types. Assign them to double variables.

[PT Exorcist]

yea worked now :

            double val1 = nTab.Width; double val2 = IMAGE_WIDTH;
            double iMax = (val1 / val2);
            MessageBox.Show(iMax.ToString()); 

isnt there a way that i can do like in vb.net CTYPE(converttype) CTYPE(nTab.Width,wished type) ?

[Lethal]

You will have to cast the variable to the desired type.
( Type Goes Here.. )

    double myDouble = (double) nTab.Width;

[PT Exorcist]

ah casting is the equivalent to the VB Ctype()?

[Lethal]

That's what CType() does..It converts a variables type to a different type.

[PT Exorcist]

yea but i didnt know casting was the same thing lolol

[Lethal]

Here's another way just for reference:

{
	int width = 777, height = 100;
	float result = ((float)width / (float)height);
	Console.WriteLine(result);
}

[PT Exorcist]

what the difference between float,double and integer? and longs? and int16 int32 int64?

[Lethal]

There are eight integral types you can use to represent whole or integer numbers:
sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong

As you can see, each type has a signed and unsigned version of the type.

Then we have floating-point types. There are three floating-point types you can use to represent floating-point numbers:
floag, double, decimal

These allow for n # of places after the decimal (precision).

[PT Exorcist]

thats the theory..but why do ppl use ints and not shorts? or uints? or sbyts?

[Lethal]

Well, each types takes up a different amount of memory when stored on the stack. Don't u agree its a waste to store the number 5 into a long when a byte type would suffice?

[PT Exorcist]

hmm...int suports how much memory? 32? and this means what? it can handle up to 32 chars?

[Lethal]

32 bits, which is equivalent = -2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,647 (signed)

[PT Exorcist]

isnt there a table around there to see from where to where go that values lol?

[Lethal]

Yeah, I'm actually getting ready to leave for a costume party, so do a search and I'm sure you'll find all your looking for.

[PT Exorcist]

yea i believe so tks
