float (t_float) and int (wich you specified with %d) have an incompatible bit arrangement.
so it is wrong doing: t_float x = 8.0; post("%d", x); you surely will get an inconsistent result. better you do an explicit cast: post("%d", (int)x); -- Federico On 9/16/07, Ed Kelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I just don't get this one.
