I have a debug statement in my gear cutting program to tell me what
the program is about to do before I let it start cutting. (sometimes
it can be a surprise)
Some of the variables are obviously integers. For instance the number
of passes or the number of teeth.
I would like to be able to trim the zeros from the integer type
variables but leave the multiple decimal places on the others.
Here is the statement
M0 (DEBUG, CUTTING #82 TEETH AT #1 DP #85 passes per tooth cut depth
#7 on blank with OD #21)
displays as :
CUTTING 64.000000 TEETH AT 128.000000 DP 7.000000 passes per tooth
cut depth 0.021450 on blank with OD 0.515625
where #82 is the number of teeth in the gear
#7 is the total depth from crest to root
#1 is the calculated Diametrical pitch
#85 is the number of cutting passes to make for each tooth
#21 is the actual outside diameter of the blank
The debug statement works perfectly except that all the variables are
carried out to several decimal places e.g. the number of teeth comes
out as 64.000000.
I tried rounding the variable before the debug statement but they
still come out with trailing zeros. When I put the round function in
the statement it just prints the round function as text and still
displays the trailing zeros.
Is there a simple way to make the debug statement drop the trailing
zeros when desired?
Thanks,
Cecil
