question for math wizards

[Demon]

...But when I use a LONG variable and get the same answer as not using it I am stuck between "Did I do it right" or " Do I have the right version. Do I have PBPL" Where does it say "The version you are using is PBPL or PBP? As far as I know I am using PicBasic Pro. The executable that MCS or MPASM runs is PBP.EXE

Remember, I am only new at this and finding this type of info that others take as commonplace is not so straight forward for a beginner like me. I also do a lot of searching this and other forums/ websites, but again I feel that I am expected to know this as its "simple stuff".

Please note, I am not trying to offend or anything like that, just trying to highlight some of the frustrations I have with finding / understanding the "simple stuff"

Can you give us more details on exactly what tools (software/hardware) you use?

I have yet to use long division either. Off the top of my head, I recall a setting in
MeLabs programmer to state what compiler/options to use.

EDIT: Correction, in MicroCode Studio.

- View.
- Compile & Program options

There is a toggle to Use PBPL. (I have MicroCode Studio Plus version, can't comment for sure on basic version)

I would start by enabling that if I were to use PBPL on a PIC 18F device.

The first thing I would do is a simple test program connected to a LCD.
That way I would make sure to learn how to use the syntax properly
before integrating it into a larger program.
