conversion float()
May 24th, 2005, 12:26am  
funny thing... I was trying to test some sonia old example with the new library and the compiler gives to me a strange error. In fact at this line:

Code:
float(i*oneCycle*freq)


where i and freq are int and freq is float, it says: perhaps you wanted the overload version "float toFloat(boolean $1);" instead?

and with the int conversion:

Code:
int(i*oneCycle*freq)


doesn't give any problem. Any reason?


thanks, chr

This works for me:

Code:

int a = 3, b = 2, c = 1;
float d = 0;
d = (float)(a+b+c);
println(d);

yeah, with the casting it works

Code:
(float)(i*oneCycle*freq)


but I presume it should work also with the function "float()" like in the past versions, shouldn't it?


thx, chr

yup, this is (one of the few) bugs filed in the bugs db:
http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4

we'll fix it before 1.0 but it's a little lower priority since there is a workaround in the meantime. the preprocessor hasn't changed between alpha and beta, so they should be equally buggy.
