C help, .0f meaning

[cirux]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert some C/C++ code to BASIC but having a problem with understanding what .0f means in the following line

Code:

variable = 255.0f/(5000-10)

I've tried searching for answer/defs but its eluding me, I know its really simple but any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

cirux

It means that the number is a floating-point number. The f in 0f tells you that it's floating-point, and the 0 is the part after the decimal.

i have NEVER seen a c program that was formatted as i would do it. ever.

i mean seriously. i thought that was the reason you end statements with ';', so that you could use basically unlimited whitespace... doesn't that just seem refrickintarded now!

That would throw a syntax error cha0s, the program doesn't know when the rant starts, so it can't tell us to skip it and ignore...

If only we knew before it happened Cha0s....If only we knew...

I like taco bell. Taco bell likes me. I like eating Chalupas, and spamming. Yes spamming. I like taco bell. Spiderman eats there too. I just saw white noise, now I'm bored with nothing to do!

Oh the Pirate Ninja Cowboy Hero (AKA Alexander Joseph Pritchard), please come to save me!

I have never seen a BASIC program that was formatted the way you would do it.

Code:

? "Hello, World!"



<17 lines of white space>
