For a progress report, I need to multiply something by a decimal to get an amount of xp/h. The only problem is the xp/item (bones) is 4.5 I kept getting a type mismatch error until I thought "maybe it was the decimal". I changed 4.5 to 4 and it worked. Now I just want to know if there is a way to get it to multiply 4.5 . The only thing I can think of is this: X(4 + (1/2))
Any other ideas?

With decimals (doesn't work):

  WriteLn('~XP earned:' + IntToStr(Bones *4.5) + '(' + IntToStr(XPPH) + ' P/H)~');

With fractions (works):

WriteLn('~XP earned:' + IntToStr(Bones * (4 + (1/2))) + '(' + IntToStr(XPPH) + ' P/H)~');

Replace IntToStr with ToStr.

also fractions don't work since it will round the answer.

Ah thank you :D, int does mean integer after all doesn't it. Will it round it with ToStr?

with decimals you have to use extended instead of integer.

Thanks both of you :p
