My REAL numbers displaying without the decimal

robert.mccarthy

Hi All,

I have some real numbers, which when I calculate on a calculator come out with a decimal place. However, when I put the calculation in GS, and then display the number, it is not showing the decimals.

My calculation is one which I have been given in another post:

changeattribute: numberOfDays = 365*year + year/4 - year/100 + year/400 + date + (153*month+8)/5

Year = 2012
Date = 22
Month = 2

Thanks,

Real numbers are not limited. Maybe somewhere in your calculations you're rounding the values.

Are you using Real attributes or Integer/Index attributes?

Real attributes

I think I found the issue. My answers are 6 numbers long with 2 decimals after (i.e 735060.11)

Are REAL numbers limited to length in game salad?

Right, it seems that it was the 'displaytext' function which would not display a text length with decimals longer than 6 full numbers and 2 decimals (or something similar).

Has anyone else seen this? Possible bug??
