Data Type Conversion Help - TarotRedhand - 05-02-2022

Simply put how do I convert the type of the result of the operation in the () from LONG to DOUBLE in the snippet below?

Code: (Select All)
Answer# = 1.0 + (ARowEnd& - ARowStart&)

Thanks

I'm not sure you have to do anything other than use the suffix for the variable container.

If pressed this might work:
Answer# = Val(Str$(1 + (ARowEnd& - ARowStart&)))
Print Answer#

I would have used cdbl(ARowEnd& - ARowStart&)

Just use that line of code as is, you already specified Answer as DOUBLE using the # suffix, whatever the type of 1.0 + (ARowEnd& - ARowStart&) will evaluate to (probably SINGLE) will be automatically converted under the hood to mach your specified Answer# type.

Thanks Guys. Looks like the 2622 line (includes comments) library of mine should be good to go.
