Division with some decimal

[skimask]

While B is a constant,
just type it to your desktop-calculator and place the result inside a LCDOUT-command. ;-)

Because, if B is a constant and 5,58 too - the result "A" is another constant. You don't need any calculation in runtime...

Oh..Hey...Good point!
Missed that entirely! DOH!
That really would save a lot of calculation time wouldn't it...

Hi boys!

I have been wrong to expose the problem!

I would have the necessity to divide the variable "B" for the number 5,58 and subsequently to visualize the result "A" on LCD.

My very problem is the following:

A = B / 5,58

Excuse the error! Everybody can help me??

Not knowing the size of B, I've used DIV32. B can be any integer up to 65534.

A VAR WORD
B VAR WORD


A = B * 100 'A is temporary storage of computation
A = DIV32 558 'using DIV32... B can be any integer up to 65534
A = A / 100 'final result is placed in variable A as an integer... any
'remainder will be discarded.

Hope this helps,

Ross

Thank you Ross!

Thanks for your fast answer!

The routine works, but I would have the necessity to visualize on LCD the data drawn with 2 decimal.

Would you know how to help me?

Tip: use DIG and DEC modifier with LCDOUT.

And of course...read the manual...

You know....

I've refered to the "Manual" several hundred times by now.
Usually, I'm trying to answer a specific question. (not always successfully)

The fact that I keep having to look at it, either means I'm Stupid, or you can't grasp the wealth of knowledge from (a couple hundred views)

Just because you read it, doesn't mean you understand it.

That's what the forum (and us giver's) are here for!

To fill in the gaps.
