Hello,
You didn't mention that you weren't subscribed to the list, but since this

Thanks for this. I get a lot of mail from the FPC lists ... but it looks
like its from the devel list. I originally subscribed to this list in Feb.
2015. I must have been evicted. Not sure why. I've re-subscribed. I'll try
not to get booted again.
The second issue I ran into:
function f(x, y: integer): float;
begin
result:=float(dy)/float(dx)
end;
When attempting to compile this it tells me that "float" is undefined. I
think I'm missing something here. "float" is the native Java name for
their
base floating point type and its a valid type for FPC. If I use "single"
instead it will compile. Seems odd.
I can't comment the first part, but where exactly is a type named "float"
defined in FPC (which unit)? E.g. single is defined in unit System and
thus available for all FPC programs automatically. If some unit defines
"float" (not sure about that, but it might be the case). I can see the
System unit for Java defining "jfloat" as an alias to single - maybe you
meant that one?
Hope this helps
Yes, you're right. Sorry too many languages to deal with. And working in
this quasi-java-fpc world is bending my brain. So to sum up:
fpc doesn't have a float type.
Java does. Since its in the "java" namespace its named "Jfloat" in FPC.
The native FPC equivalent is single.
