Float Variable Rounding Down To An Integer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Jonfarmer4999 119

Hi

 

I have a flow with a variable with type float. If I try to set this via computation to a value without a decimal it populates correctly. If however the result does include a decimal then it rounds down. For Example

 

div(200,100) results in 2

div(50,100) results in 0, however I want 0.5

 

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

 

Regards

 

Jon

    Hi @Jonfarmer4999,

     

    This should work:

     

    div(50.0,100.0)

     

     

    Are you retrieving whole numbers which you are inputting in your div? Otherwise you can first convert them to a float before the div.

     

    div(float(100),float(200))

     

     

    Basically one of the values needs to be of type float to get a result of type float:
