Hi,

When I run
print float(500/19)
i got 26.0 result.
Whatever I devide don't get decimal values.
when i try etc. print float(3.42 * 17) it return 58.14 as it should be

How Blitz handle this?

That's happening because the integer division of 500/19 is being done before it gets converted to a float. Just do 500.0/19.0 instead

Or if you are doing vars, move the parenthesis to right after the first thing.

a=5
b=3
Print Float(a)/b
