deviding a number by 4

[dimava]

this is what I have right now:

Dim intnum As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
intnum = Text1.Text
intnum = intnum / 4
Label1.Caption = intnum
End Sub

Now when I entered 2.63 into text 1, label1.caption = 0

then I remembers that an integer is a whole number, what do I do to use desicmals?

Use Single.

Dim intnum As Single

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    intnum = Text1.Text
    intnum = intnum / 4
    Label1.Caption = intnum
    
End Sub

u must not declare 'ur receiving var to integer otherwise
decimals would be discarded...

thanks

That's because VB will dynamically convert it into a Double. Declaring it as a Single at design time, will save memory.

ok, thanks
