C#, Operator '*' cannot be applied to operands of type 'double' and 'decimal'

Question

This error should be a simple one but I cant seem to make it work. The problem lies in the fact that this very same code works earlier in the program. I don\'s see any reaso

Answer 1

.8m instead of .8

Answer 2

You didn't say which line it was, but I'm betting on these two:

z = (x*y)*(.8 * 1.732050808m);

And:

z = (1000 * x)/(y * 1.732050808m)* .8;

Note that your .8 does not have the 'm' qualifier. Every other place I see you did supply that.

Answer 3

In this line here:

z = (xy)(.8 * 1.732050808m);

you specify .8 as a literal, but without the 'm' suffix, the literal specifies a double.

z = (xy)(.8m * 1.732050808m);

will fix it.
