decimal places 1

[vivasuzi]

Hi, I did a search for "decimal" and got no results so I'm assuming this question hasn't been asked.

I just realized I don't know how to use decimal numbers in asp. I'm familiar w/ CInt and CLng but I've never used decimal places. I'm doing some calculations on numbers and I want to keep the decimal places.

Also, I want to only show 2 decimal places when I display the number.

ex => 3/2 = 1.50

Thanx in advance! *Suzanne*

well... u can use formatnumber(var,2)

Here's the deal. Just to make sure i was clear. I thought about what I'm doing more and here's what it is.

I'm dividing two integers. Basically:

(seconds/60)/60 = hours.

I don't want it to round up. If they worked 5400 seconds. I want (5400/60)/60 = (90)/60 = 1.5 hours. I am storing it as seconds for somewhere else where I need to compare it in terms of seconds.

I don't understand where I would put the formatnumber in that. *Suzanne*

How about cDbl and cDec? Those may be what your looking for,

I figured it out. This is what I did...

<%
seconds = 4518

hours = (seconds/60)/60

response.write formatnumber(hours,2)
%>


I tried the cdec but I kept getting a type mismatch. Then I found out that I can do the calculations w/out worring about type at all. And formating it after works also. Thanx a bunch *Suzanne*
