RE: Dumb programming question..

You could get tons of answers based on your math hierarchy. 

Result = (fielda - 1) / (fielda * 100);
       -or-
Result = ((fielda - 1) / fielda) * 100;

What actually needs to happen here?

Hi Folks.

 

Drawing a blank here. I do not program all that much anymore and KNOW I
have
done this before but can't find an example. I've tried scanning my
source
for what I THOUGHT would get a hit will no luck

 

I need to do the following in an RPG program and I know you can do it as
one
"free form" line.

 

FieldA - 1 Divided by FieldA times 100

 

Help :-)

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
