Title: print using type mismatch error
Post by: xra7en on June 05, 2019, 09:56:31 pm

Code: QB64: [Select]

1.    
2.  PRINT
3.     dim zz as double
4.     ZZ = 9999 * RND
5.    
6.     PRINT USING "####.##"; ZZ; "."
7.  

this produces a mismatch error for me.
amd I missing something, or using the "PRINT USING" incorrectly?

It's the "." that PRINT USING isn't liking, this works if you really want the dot at the end:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. PRINT
2. DIM zz AS DOUBLE
3. zz = 9999 * RND
4.  
5. PRINT USING "####.##"; zz;
6. PRINT "."
7.  
8.

WEIRD
But ya. works!

I supposed when I get down the to "how-to's" it make sense. however on the surface, with the ";" at the end, you would think the "." would show up. :-)

thanks for the quick response!!!!

2. PRINT
3. DIM zz AS DOUBLE
4. zz = 9999 * RND
5.

Hey where is the % sign coming from?

Code: QB64: [Select]

1.  
2. PRINT
3. DIM zz AS DOUBLE
4. zz = 9999 * RND
5.  
6. PRINT USING "####.##, "; zz, RND * zz, 100 * RND * zz, .001 * zz
7.  
8.

I don't know why but this removes % sign

Code: QB64: [Select]

1.  
2. PRINT
3. DIM zz AS DOUBLE
4. zz = 9999 * RND
5.  
6. PRINT USING "######.##, "; zz, RND * zz, 100 * RND * zz, .001 * zz
7.

The % appears, if the number doesn't fit into the given format: 100 * RND * zz can become 999900 in your example, which doesn't fit into "####.##", but in "######.##" as Ashish did.

Ah yes, now I remember something like that, thanks guys.

Interesting how it prints the whole number breaking format length over, say starting or filling with %'s.
