decimal

(I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this. I think it's definitely programming related, though if this belongs on some other site please let me know) I grew up playing Pokémon Red and Blue, games that were great fun but are somewhat notorious for having numerous exploitable glitches (for example, see this ridiculous speedrun of the game that uses memory corruption to turn the item screen into a hex editor). Recently, I found an interesting speedrun of the game that uses a glitch called the "ZZAZZ glitch" to corrupt important memory locations and allow the player to almost immediately

I have a database table with some fields, one of them, cost , is set to the DECIMAL data type. I set the parameters to 4,2 , which should allow 4 numbers before the decimal point, and 2 afterwards. (I've been told that the 4 here is the total amount, and the 2 is the amount after the decimal, could somebody please clear that up on a side note?) When I insert data via a POST request (the value 3.80 for example) the data stored to my database is actually 99.99 . What am I doing wrong to cause this? Here's the table: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mytable` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

I want to format a string as a decimal, but the decimal contains some following zeros after the decimal. How do I format it such that those meaningless 0's disappear? string.Format("{0}", 1100M); string.Format("{0}", 1100.1M); string.Format("{0}", 1100.100M); string.Format("{0}", 1100.1000M); displays: 1100 1100.1 1100.100 1100.1000 but I want it to be: 1100 1100.1 1100.1 1100.1 For reference, here are other questions that are essentially duplicates of this, that I've found thanks to answers given here: Parse decimal and filter extra 0 on the right? Best way to display decimal without trailing

This question already has an answer here: Binary to Decimal Conversion - Formula? 6 answers I'm wanting to create a basic program to enable me to convert binary numbers into decimal numbers, but having looked almost everywhere on the internet, I just can't find a solution to this that works! I can't seem to follow the solutions, So far I've developed a bit of code, but not sure if it is correct or not, any help? Thanks int iBinaryNum; //To store binary number string sDecimalNum; //To store decimal numbers Console.WriteLine("Enter the binary number you want to convert to decimal"); iBinaryNum =

Possible Duplicate: Decimal Conversion error I am writing a program for a class and is having trouble figuring how to convert an octal number to an decimal number. Here is what I been trying to do so far: import java.util.Scanner; public class test { public static void main ( String args[]) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter number: "); int oct = input.nextInt(); int d2count = 0; int result=0; int d3count = 0; int d3 = 0; int d2 = 0; d3 = oct; d2 = oct; if(oct < 1000){ while ( d3 >= 100){ d3 = d3 - 100; d3count++; }} if (oct < 100){ while ( d2 >= 10){ d2 = d2 -

I'm trying to convert whatever numbers the user inputs into 2 decimal places. For instance What is the total cost in cents? 2345 output: 23.45 this is the code i have so far percentage=20 #cannot change numerical value must convert into 0.20 echo -n "What is the total cost? "; read cost_in_cents echo "scale 1; $cost_in_cents" | bc I'm also going to be doing some multiplication with percentage, how can i also convert the percentage into a float (0.20) Perhaps it's nostalgia for reverse polish notation desk calculators, but I'd use dc rather than bc here: dc <<<"2 k $cost_in_cents 100 / p"
