hey, i am having a little bit of trouble when i call calc....for example, if i do this:
//echo -a $calc(5599395841418 - 500)
it echos this:
5599395840917.999616
when it should just return:
5599395840918
500 less then what it was, why am i getting 501 less then what it was, PLUS a dot and more numbers after it :|
i dont need the dot, and whatever is after it, all thats doing it causing problems for what i'm doing, any ideas?

There was a post about this before, it was suggested the problem was linked to processor type, but I don't know if a definitive reason was ever found.

Does The Same Thing unfortunately
but i not doing anything with vars, so even if it did work, it wouldnt help me much, cause sure, i can set the variable to that, but then i still end up having to calc the var again later, which would end up returning the "samething"
perhaps a bug khaled will have to look at for the next version possibly?

The number you used is too big. Most languages allow integers of around 2^32, and some 2^64. Seeing how this is a windows 32bit program I'm guessing the largest number you should use is 2^32.

^ is the exponent operator. 2^32 means 2 to the power of 32.
Pasmal: I don't think that's the problem though, the calculation works perfectly for me on a pentium3 (500mhz) with Win98SE and an Athlon XP2400+ with WinXP Home SP1. It's a rather bizarre problem but doesn't seem to be tied to anything system related - my 2nd system seems to be pretty close to Collective's, yet he gets the problem and I don't. Strange indeed.
