; Float Example
; -------------

; Float converts a value (or a string) to a floating point number.
; Its main use is forcing float arithmetic where Blitz would otherwise
; do whole-number integer division.

Print "12/5        = "+(12/5)+"  (integer division throws the fraction away)"
Print "Float(12)/5 = "+(Float(12)/5)

Print ""

; Applied to a string, Float converts as much of it as it can
Print "Float of the string 3.25  = "+Float("3.25")
Print "Float of the string 3junk = "+Float("3junk")+"  (stops at the first non-numeric character)"
Print "Float of the string junk3 = "+Float("junk3")

Print ""
Print "Press any key to close the example"
