Why :

In the window calculator 768/512 return 1.5

And under bmax :

Print 768/512

return 1 ?

Try

Print Float(768)/Float(512)

Print 768.0/512.0

returns 1.50000000

its the difference between integer math 768/512 versus floating point maths 768.0/512.0

An integer math produces only integer answers (as 1.5 is a float, so bmax rounded it down to a 1)

Actually, this still catches me out sometimes today. So, no it's not that stupid, you can quite easily forgot that you haven't declared and int and then get the wrong results.
