Hi there

I am having trouble with some arithmetic e.g.:

2 / 60

which should give me:

0.033333333...

but the variant I get has the subtype Double:

3.33333333333333E-02

which is no good because I want to turn it into a string.

I don't want to convert to an integer, because of rounding up, do I need to convert to another subtype and if so which one?

thanks for your help, Andy
