Sorry, the standard RCX firmware doesn't support anything other than
signed 16 bit integer math, so NQC doesn't do floating point.  Depending
upon the problem, you may still be able to convert the operation into
appropriate integer math.

If you really need floatin point math, however, consider looking at legOS
instead.

I have a need to do floating point math in the RCX, but NQC only seems to natively support integers. Is there a floating point library for NQC? Jim (25 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
