How can I remove the decimal point from a calculation?


e.g 86 / 3 * 100 = 2766.666666666666666667
(Don't want this bit:   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

Has to be with VB script..
No idea how to even start it..

You can use "cint" (convert to integer). This will round it for you (ie. to the nearest integer).



/world.note cint(2766.666666666666666667)

2767

You can use "fix" if you want to discard the decimal places (not round) ...



/world.note fix(2766.666666666666666667)

2766

By the way, if you want to get those arrows right, turn on "Forum Codes" and use the [code] directive.

eg.


[code] 
e.g 86 / 3 * 100 = 2766.666666666666666667 
  (Don't want this bit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^) 
[/code]

'Code' uses a monospaced font and preserves spacing.
