Treebeard's String-Math

[Pete]

Well I did some checking, and Treebeard's string math also lacks the ability to deal with repetends.

Code: (Select All)

DIM AS STRING n, m, r
DIM AS LONG i, j
t = TIMER

INPUT "enter n ", n
IF n = "" THEN
    n = "1"
    PRINT "n = "; n
END IF
INPUT "enter m ", m
IF m = "" THEN
    m = "3"
    PRINT "m = "; m
END IF
PRINT
bDiv n, m, r
PRINT "n / m = "; r
n = r

bMul n, m, r
PRINT "r * m = "; r

So we don't get back to 1. Instead, we get 1 / 3 = .3... and * 3 = .9...
