quick n00b visual basic question

[iamme]

how do i set up an division equation to return the value without the remainder (not rounding up)?

for example: i want 3 / 2 to equal 1 (dropping the 1/2 remainder). when i declare the numbers as integers, it seems to round it up to 2.

If you = don't know

Then

Let you = do your own research

If

You - homework = fail class

Then

You = retake class

int(3/2) should work... CInt() would round up

 

[iamme]

ah, "\" was what i was looking for.

int(x/y) works as well.

thanks 🙂

You could also use the "\" operator to force integer division instead of "/" which does floating point division.

The proper way is to use "MOD". I can't remember the exact syntax, but search on google 🙂

45 MOD 8 would return 5

While you could use MOD to find the remainder and then subtract that from the floating point division...it would be much easier to use int(x/y) or '\"to get your result.
