Number to Percent?

[ZebrasInBlankets]

Basically I want to make a number equal 100% and if that number lets say drops 20% then do something..

So,

$num = 1234

If $num < 80% Then Call("bob")

SOmething in that manner.. Is it possible and how would I do it?

It's a pretty basic math formula... (x / y ) * 100 = %

$num = 345

$pct = 80

$oldnum = $num

; Do some stuff that changes the value of $num

If $num < $oldnum*$pct/100 Then

; Do something else

EndIf

Something like that?

EDIT: added the phrase "that changes the value of $num"

nope... test value is always the same as present value. If you need to know that its changed you must preserve the old value. The test you presented will always fail.

MsgBox will fire when $x is exactly 80, but I think you have the right idea now.

$baseline = 100; 100%
$threshold = ($baseline * .80); set threshold at 80%
if $baseline <= $threshold Then
; your code goes here   
EndIf

$baseline = 100; 100%
$threshold = ($baseline * .80); set threshold at 80%
if $baseline <= $threshold Then
; your code goes here    
EndIf

I was going to tell you were correct, but you deleted your last post before i could.

I would:

;$x is the starting number
$x / .8 = $y

If $x < $y Then
;......
EndIf

At least something like that.

Edit: Nvm, thats a variable, lol...
