1. floats
I don't know if the last post made it so here's my question again
I was wondering if there was an easy way to seperate the exponent from a
fractal of a float32
eg: atom float32 float32=12345.54321
I need to make two words [12345][54321] respectively

The absolute easiest is probably to run the number through sprintf.
Something like this (untested):
atom float32 float32 = 12345.54321
sequence float_text, words
float_text = sprintf( "%0.5f", float32 )
words = { float_text[1..$-6], float_text[$-4..$] }

Thanks Matt this was the type of easy/quick solution i was looking for

This keeps the numbers as numbers, not text.
atom number, whole, decimal
number = 12345.54321
whole = floor( number )
decimal = number - whole

Sorry, apparently Topica has issues with equal signs followed by
numbers, after that it prints all the "equal-number" symbols all over
the place. Let's try this instead:
global function split_number( atom float_number )
atom whole_number, decimal
whole_number = floor( float_number )
decimal = (float_number - whole_number)
return {whole_number, decimal}
end function

I dont know about Kat, but this is the part I was confused about
...
"seperate the exponent from a
fractal of a float32"
...
but obviously he means to seperate the whole number from the
fractional part, not "fractal"

It did the same again, Greg. Can you try an attachment, or put it on a web=

I'm using Mozilla 1.7 and the EUForum, the original posts showed correctly for
me as well.

It's no worse than your poor choice of metaphor, Mr. B.

Or RDS, considering some reasonably priced web hosts allow 10gigabytes
per month of bandwidth, and php will serve out the list on the http host
easily, and we don't use that much bandwidth. 10gig/mo is 333meg/day, or
over 150 emails for 1000 people (at 2K bytes/email) per day.

This is a band-aid on a broken leg, but I think it fixes the problem.
It also handles zero, which has no decimal. :)
global function split_number( atom float_number )
atom whole_number, decimal
if float_number > 0 then
whole_number = floor( float_number )
decimal = (float_number - whole_number)
elsif float_number < 0 then
float_number = -float_number
whole_number = floor( float_number )
decimal = (float_number - whole_number)
whole_number = -whole_number
else
return {0,0}
end if
return {whole_number, decimal}
end function

It appears that Topica is screwing up Greg Haberek's messages
that contain '=' signs. The messages look fine on Topica's
Web site (as well as on EUforum), so Topica obviously received them
correctly.
Greg, perhaps there is some e-mail setting in gmail that
you can change, because I don't think other gmail users
are having a problem.

Please, feel free to ignore my metaphors if compelled by cultural/religious
prejudices or just suffering from an overdose of political correctness. jiri

Thanks to the guys who replied to my float post
I needed to pass a [(sign)(15-bit diget).(15-diget)(lsb ignored)]
value to an MMX vector routine I was learning from the web.

For me, one of the messages look like this when viewed through gmail:

This keeps the numbers as numbers, not text.
atom number, whole, decimal
number 12345.54321
whole floor( number )
decimal number - whole
</quote>
Obviously it's not only greg who has this problem. Usually, I don't read or
reply via e-mail, but use the euforum instead, so that's the reason I haven't
discovered it.
