Re: 10^2 error. Bug or expected behavior?

+1 to using %inth (or %dech) to get out of float. It's possible that the float value for 10 ** xnbrdec is say 99.99999999999999999999999 instead of 100, and %int would return 99.

It's usually better to get out of float as soon as possible, so I think it's better to do the %inth on the ** result.

intnbr = (xqta * %inth(10 ** xnbrdec));
