For some reason, this: myRealNumber# = 3/6 Text 0, 0, myRealNumber gives the answer as 0.0 myRealNumber# = 0.5 Text 0, 0, myRealNumber gives the answer as 0.5. Am I missing something?

Seems as though the problem is that BB doesn't convert my two numbers to be divided into real numbers. This works: myRealNumber# = 3.0/6.0

yeah, think blitz will only use float if you tell it too. Well in my experience anyways :)

yeah you got to remember to write floats with a decimal ie 3.0 or they will give out integer values.
