Just a short question here about floats with ANSI C on AIX. This is an example of something I was trying to do. float a; a = 10 / 100; 'a' always comes back as 0. I've found a workaround for it but I was just curious if floats have to have a whole number part or if I was just doing something wrong. The formula was more complex but it would have produced a number between 0.01 and 0.99. On paper it should have anyway. But as soon as I divided by 100, the var became 0. I'm also curious if it can't be done like this, how is it supposed to be done...
