51/2 = 26?

51/2=26?

Why visual basic rounds up this calculation. I want it to round it down in order to get the answer 25.

How must I do in order to make vb rounding the calculation down.

I have made like this:

dim result as integer

x=51
result=x/2

Try this instead.

 Debug.Print 51 \ 2

This is known as integer division and will always return the lower value.

OK. I solved that declaring result as double
So it will calculate that 25,5. That's fine.

But if I want to do 50/2 the result will be 25. How can I show the decimal. How I get the result 25,0.

If I understand your question, you could use the Format command, when displaying the answer.

eg txtBox = format(50/2,"#,##0.00")
and txtbox = format(51/2,"#,##0.00")

int or fix should do that. Depending on the question what you want to do if you're dividing something that return negative values:

dim retval as integer

retval = int(51/2) ' returns 25
retval = fix(51/2) ' returns 25

retval = int(-51/2) ' returns -26
retval = fix(-51/2) ' returns -25

Why don't you just use a Double data type?

i.e.

Dim retval As Double

I did as jp adviced and used format control. That's was the solution my problem. First I declared the result variable as double as Pinky said. Thanks to all helped me.

glad to hear you came right.
