I've programmed with Pascal in the past, and I have used a lot of real variables rather than integers, but I came to a point where I need to use a real variable today, but I keep getting "Unknown type 'real'"

Does simba not support real?

If you don't mind me asking, what's the difference between a real variable and an integer?

what're you trying to do that you need this?
what about using an extended?

More specific equations, as far as I know (which isn't much), its the only way to really use decimals.

Integers round up always, I need it to always round down, which is possible with real.

Use the extended type and the ceil() or round() functions with it.

ceil() rounds the decimal up and round() rounds it down.

no, i think he needs to use floor() round() rounds it :P

Just use extended, from what language comes the real type?

edit: Remembered, real is used with databases!

Thanks so much!

I'll mess with it now!

I'm a bit used to floats ;) Never knew pascal uses real, oh wel, learned something new.
