help with floating variables

Hello,

I wrote a code to detect accuracy, but it won't show numbers less than one.

enemys_hit = 1
bullets_shot = 2
accuracy# = (enemys_hit/bullets_shot)
Print accuracy#
WaitKey

It seems like it would work but it doesn't! What did I do wrong?

Your dividing two INT's. You won't get a float result like that. Change the enemys_hit to a float, and it will work :o)

I've noticed that you have to that even when doing a fraction like 1/2, which would return a 0. You have to put 1.0/2 or 1/2.0 or 1.0/2.0

Hi

you have to force one or another (enemys_hit or bullets_shot ) to be float:

enemys_hit = 1
bullets_shot = 2
accuracy1# = Float(enemys_hit)/bullets_shot
accuracy2# = enemys_hit/Float(bullets_shot)
Print accuracy1+", "+accuracy2
WaitKey

enemys_hit / bullets_shot : will give you 0.0 because both are integers and the quotient is integer 0, accuracy is a float, and print shows you as 0.0

accuracy# = float(enemys_hit / bullets_shot) will give you the same 0.0 result, because blitz firs do the division, resulting an integer 0, and then converts it to float: 0.0

when mixing integers and floats we all have to take care!

best regards

Juan

edit: two were writing at the time I do the post!, so I came third

Even changing enemys_hit = 1.0 will produce the incorrect result.

You need to use the # to change the variable to a float.

However, this will work:

accuracy# = (Float(enemys_hit)/Float(bullets_shot))

thanks, I get it now.
