Reciprocal
I am not the greatest mathematician but I have some functions I am converting from easy language that use the reciprocal of a number to provide a multiplyer in another function.
double method (int pwr)
{
double frac=0;
frac=1/pwr;
dootherstuffwith frac
}
However when I Print this the expression 1/pwr comes out as zero. I am doing binary progression stuff so all the numbers are of the series 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc. I can't see what I am doing wrong. I can't see a math.reciprocal function. Short of doing a pseudo lookup function ;
if(pwr = 2)
return(.5);
if(pwr = 4)
return(.25);
etc etc
any ideas ????
Thanks
Paz
