BALA Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) How can I check if the number produced after finding the square root of a number is a whole number?

Moderators SmOke_N Posted February 2, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2007 If IsInt()? $a = '3' $b = '3.2' If IsInt(Number($a)) Then MsgBox(0, 1, $a) If IsInt(Number($B)) Then MsgBox(0, 2, $B)Back to the help file for you... Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

DaleHohm Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 IsInt() works in AutoIt becasue it does not use typed variables, but rather variants that use heuristics (hints from the data itself) to determine data-type. In other languages (and if AutoIt too if you want to) you would use the Mod function e.g. If Mod($number, 1) = 0 Then ; it's a whole number Else ; not a whole number EndIf Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better?

I didn't think of searching for "integer" since integers contain the set of negative numbers, but i guess in AutoIt they're interchangeable with Whole numbers. Well thanks then. EDIT: strike that about them being interchangeable, it returns 1 for negatives.

The funny thing is, in my own code (a tad more thought put into it obviously, I use MOD myself). Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...
