Float number as you mean are 32 bit float numbers see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_precision Float numbers in GAMBAS are 64 bit float numbers see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_precision
The follow program demonstrates how to convert a 64 Bit long value into a 64 bit gambas FLOAT (=double precision) value: PUBLIC SUB Main() DIM f AS Float DIM l AS Long DIM hH AS File l = &h3fd5555555555555& OPEN "/tmp/hexfloat.tmp" FOR WRITE CREATE AS #hH WRITE #hH, l CLOSE #hH OPEN "/tmp/hexfloat.tmp" FOR READ AS #hH READ #hH, f CLOSE #hH PRINT "l=", l, "HEX", Hex$(l), " f=", f END ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
