Arithmetic operators

Hello, i have one beginners problem:

                            pomPrice := (item value / 100) *  item price.   
                            Transcript show: 'Price is: '; show: pomPrice; cr.
result:
Price is: (1999/20)
item value is 5
item price is 1999

but i need value = number :)

thnx

Jakub.

Hi,

asFloat, asInteger, rounded, truncated...

In your case I guess asFloat...

Also, in your operation that lead to a fraction, if you declare a
number as a float (but smalltalk way, you write it), the evalutaion
will result in a float...

(1999/20.00)  "print it"  instead of  (1999/20.00)

so (item value / 100.00)  for instance...

Cheers,
Cédrick

Another approach:

     Transcript show: 'Price is: ';
                show: (pomPrice printShowingDecimalPlaces: 2);
                cr.
