Hi John-
You can convert quantities from one data type to another
(it's called "casting", I believe).
The following computes the quantity x/y, then converts it
to a float:
-------------------------
int x, y;
float c;
float divide ( int x, int y)
{
c = (float) (x/y);
return c;
}
---------------------------
cheers,

| [Ben Davis] spake unto the ether: (...) Hmm, I think you want c = ((float)(x))/((float)(y)); Otherwise, the division will be done first as integers, giving an integer quotient, which you're then turning into a float. *Rich* (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
