Print Int(variable*100)*.01

(thanks Seth)
and also...

x#=123.456
y=x*100
z#=y/100.0  ;or * .01
Print z

but bmx doesn't play the game.
Anybody got a similar shortcut for Max?

a#=0.234252341
print a[0..3]

OK, so it's...

a#=0.234252341 
number:string = a#
print number[0..4]

thanks

Interesting example! Problem is that it wouldn't help if your String (number) changed in length, so 10.2323 would return different # of dec places than if the # was 1.2323

Print Float(Int(variable*100))*.01 ?

teamonkey,
I thought that would work but this...
variable:Float=13.12345
Print Float(Int(variable*100))*.01
gives me this...
13.1999 etc etc
Tried using mod methods which worked in BB but it all comes down to this...
b:float = 45.0/100.0
print b
This can't be right... can it?

**** Ignore me **** It is a bug reported here...
