[Resolved] Variable Problem (a/b != working?)

[Twin Matrix]

Hi ho~

I have a variable problem.

a = 48
b = 91
c = (a/b)
p c
Prints returns 0?
So I'm thinking, maybe it can't do numbers between 0 and 1. Then I do:
c = ((a/b)*100)
p c
Still 0.

The heck? o_O

try changing it to:

a=48.0
b=91.0
c=(a/b)
p c

 

[Yeyinde]

a * 100 / b for a number between 0 and 100
a.to_f/b.to_f for a number between 0.0 and 1.0

Thanks, it works! :D

48 / 91 gives 0.527, a float. RMXP will automatically round this number to the lowest integer unless the given numbers are floats too.

Try 48.0 / 91.0 and it should return 0.527.
A good thing to know if you work with variables, like num1 = 12, num2 = 38.4, etc. is that you can turn numerics to integer or float by using the 'to_i' and 'to_f' methods.

So num1.to_f = 12.0
and num2.to_i = 38

Hope it helps!
