Division

[Ranqers]

i've come up with a way to make a good guess on how long it will take to kill npcX.

 

here's the method:

[scar]

const level = 99; // Skill LEVEL (range)

 

begin

repeat

attackCode;

Wait(650000 / level); // if level = 99 then it should wait 6565 seconds

until(false);

end;

[/scar]

 

problem I'm having is a type mismatch error with the "Wait(650000 / level);"

Solved, thanks Scar-Divi.com!

Some differences. Slash will divide it without rounding it. So it can be a float value e.g. 3.323423.

 

While as using div, will round it respectively

Keep in mind that "div" is integer division, it always rounds down.

Keep in mind that "div" is integer division, it always rounds down.

You can always perform a floating point division then round it up or down to suit your needs with Round() and Trunc() respectively.

IntResult := Round((IntVar1 * 1.0) / IntVar2);  // This would round up
IntResult := Trunc((IntVar1 * 1.0) / IntVar2);  // This is the same as IntVar1 div IntVar2

Actually, "Ceil()" rounds up, "Round()" uses standard rounding rules. "Floor()" rounds down and "Trunc()" just removes the decimals. (Essentially Trunc and Floor behave the same.)

You're right. My bad. I'm really rusty. Haven't done any active development work with Delphi/Pascal in 6+ yrs.
