Re: Routines for very large numbers.

@maxV Yes works fine, very nice! Thanks. To display the result as a decimal number, I assume I can do something like this: on mouseUp put 123 into tNumerator put 118 into tDenominator put bigDivide2(tNumerator,tDenominator) into tNum answer tNum&cr&\ item 1 of tNum &(item 2 of tNum)/tDenominator end...

Re: Routines for very large numbers.

Solved, I just divided the big number in smallest pieces. Please add and subistute these functions ( bigDivide and bigDivide2 ): Hi MaxV Well done on the speed; now very fast. But accuracy of result is not so good. Example: put bigDivide2(123,111) into tNum Calculator gives: 1.108108108108108 bigDi...

So you can of course:
...
set the hilitedbutton of grp "RadioA" to 1
...
set the hilitedbuttonname of grp "RadioA" to "Radiobutton1"
...
OIC, useful to know.
Thanks.

I have seen this.
I delete the strange sign and paste again. Then it works!

Good idea!
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Routines for very large numbers.

I have been testing the routines over the last couple days and all but one appear to work as expected. The function in question is "BigDivide" Can someone confirm that if you do. put bigDivide(99999999,10) into t answer t LC stops responding or crashes. This does not happen on every calculation onl...

SWITCH - can it be used with an expression

Can one use a condition in the CASE statement?

I tried this but it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

     switch tCount
         case tCount <10
            -- do something
            break
         case tCount <20
             -- do something else
            break

Re: First animationEngine test

Very nice.

I notice that in the examples people are posting, it takes forever to load - several minutes.

Is that something that will be improved?

Re: Routines for very large numbers.

Hi. The stack "bigNumber" was corrupted when I tried to open it. Sorry... Just a thought. The "longMult" handler requires both the "addZero" and "longAdd" handlers as well. You did include those, right? Craig Yes they are included. BTW I downloaded the stack again and its fine here :D I notice in v...

Re: Routines for very large numbers.

I tried the routines again, to make sure there were no typos. They work. Are you sure about typos on your end? I cannot imagine that v 6.7, where I am, is different from v. 7. Please check, though I am sure the problem is trivial. But if not, the problem is profound, and must be pounced upon. Craig...
