LurchMan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 try this: ConsoleWrite(Execute(-2^-006) & @CRLF) Dating a girl is just like writing software. Everything's going to work just fine in the testing lab (dating), but as soon as you have contract with a customer (marriage), then your program (life) is going to be facing new situations you never expected. You'll be forced to patch the code (admit you're wrong) and then the code (wife) will just end up all bloated and unmaintainable in the end.

PsaltyDS Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Demo: Global $sInput = "-2e-006" ConsoleWrite("Debug: $sInput = " & $sInput & ", Type = " & VarGetType($sInput) & @LF) Global $fRET = Execute($sInput) ConsoleWrite("Debug: $fRET = " & $fRET & ", Type = " & VarGetType($fRET) & @LF) $sRET = StringFormat("%1.10f", $fRET) ConsoleWrite("Debug: $sRET = " & $sRET & ", Type = " & VarGetType($sRET) & @LF) Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

PsaltyDS Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 try this: ConsoleWrite(Execute(-2^-006) & @CRLF) Well, that's cute, but doesn't address scientific notation as the initial input. It's also the wrong answer: -2e-006 = (-2)(10 ^ -6) = 0.000002 Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
