True Basic question

[Whitman82]

Anyone know how to use true basic? When i'm doing a calculation, how to i get it to round my answer to the nearest tenth?

[@$3.1415rin]

dunno about true basic, but on c64 basic it was something like

int(a * 10 + 0,5) / 10

Isn't there a round function?

[Whitman82]

Ya, there is a function. Its either "round" or "rnd" but i'm not sure how to use it.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

it's not rnd, this one is for random number generation.

[Whitman82]

Ok, but do you know how to use the "round" command?

[@$3.1415rin]

dont you have an int command for converting to an integer ? then you could do it like I posted it above

[Whistler]

I don't think BASIC has a round function, joe's way is the only way to do rounding...

PHP Code:

10 a = int(rnd * 10 + 0.5)
20 print a 


this will print a random number in from 0 to 10

I've been using True Basic on a different computer other than the one i'm using now, because for some reason every time i try to install it, i get this message:

E:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

It getting annoying, cause i want to use it on my computer. Any idea what that error means?

well Windows just sucks

try a native Windows version of BASIC instead, like YaBASIC. I'm also not sure if M$ QBasic will work

also if you really want to use True Basic, I think you'd better reinstall Windows. You've bought Windows and you have to repeat the sequence over and over and over again
