My math skills are insufficient...
« on: September 10, 2011, 04:59:51 pm »


               I have a positive float with an unknown value. (User input)
I need to get the numbers after the dot as a integer.

examples:

00.65 -> 65
24.38 -> 38
98.00 -> 0


This is not nwscript related. (Its C++)

Any help appreciated.

               Convert to string and take everything from dot right. Not sure how or if its possible to convert it into string or char though.

               here is how I would do it in NWScript.  Assuming that the number is inputed as a float to get the forst two decimals.  

int Get2decimalsAsInt(float input)
{
  input = (input- FloatToInt( input)) * 100;
  return  FloatToInt(input);
}

Hope that helps.

               I ended up using messing around with 'static_cast <newt type> (value)'

Thanks for the help anyway!

Nicely done :-)

               Lightfoot: this really works? Thought it will round up the float again.

It should work like this (assuming float input of yy.xxxx)
:
1) FloatToInt( input) evaluates as  yy.xxxxx -> int (yy)
2) (input- int( yy )) evaluates as (yy.xxxx - yy) -> float (.xxxxx)
3) (float (.xxxxx)) * 100 evaluates as (.xxxx)*100 -> float (xx.xx)
and therefore:
4) return FloatToInt(input); evaluates as return FloatToInt(xx.xx) -> return int (xx)

input = (input- FloatToInt( input)) * 100;
return FloatToInt(input);

Elegant, IMO :-)

I do not follow what you are saying.   FloatToInt  does not round.  

And I guess I lied when I said I would do it that way in NWScript.  I only did it that way because I do not know if C++ uses the operators the same way and I do not know if he wants the +\\- state of the original number preserved.  what I would use would look more like.

int Get2decimalsAsInt(float input)
{
   input = input * 100 ;
   return FloatToInt(input) % 100;
}

               Going from ShaDoOoW's method, as Lightfoot's will only work with a set number of decimal places...

int decsAsInt(float val)
{
   stringstream temp;
   temp << val;
   string Str1 = temp.str();

   int pos = Str1.find('.');
   Str1.replace(0, pos+1, "");

   return atoi(Str1.c_str());
}

I hate wrestling with types in c++ too. There's probably a much nicer way to convert than using a stringstream, but if there is it's apparently a lot harder to remember '<img'>

               I didn't say it but the input would only have a max of two decimals. I did it in a fashion similiar to Lightfoot's method, though his method would work too.

               fmod(x,1) *100
