Math precision

Post by MaxV » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:48 pm

Hi,
I'm using WinXp and I get this error:

Code: Select all

1 * 0.000005  = 0.000005
1 * 0.0000005 = 0
:shock:

How can I set math precision on Livecode?

Hi Max,

check "numberformat" in the dictionary, the default = 0.######
Which is one digit less than you need in your example :D

Best
