Hello, good afternoon.
Why this calculus above is giving always 0?
value := (counter / total) * 100
In calculator this is going to be correct, and parentesis is told to divide first.

what is the type of counter and total?
ocean ledge
so let's say total is 100 and counter is 99, what would you expect the result of int(99) / int(100) to be given that the result of this operation is itself an int?
primal stone
a float?
ocean ledge
is a float an int?
primal stone
but I got what you are trying to say me
ocean ledge
so how would you solve it?
primal stone
it becomes an int when I multiply per 100, correct?
var counter float
var total float
ocean ledge
it never becomes an int, it's always an int given that you are dividing 2 int
primal stone
understood
ocean ledge
var counter float
var total float
that's one way, what if you had to keep those as int?
ocean ledge
could you spell it out? It's easy to get it wrong and I want to make sure you understand
primal stone
solved
