I generally use "round" when working with pixels. But you don't have to,
the LC engine seems to manage decimal pixels for you.
Clever, that engine.

Thanks: I have.
BUT, imagine, if you will, a situation where I want to animate a blob as
in:
put 1 into LYNE
repeat until line LYNE of fld "PointsList" is empty
move grc "blob" to line LYNE of fld "PointsList"
wait 2 ticks
add 1 to LYNE
end repeat
Let's suppose those points should make the blob go round an invisible
circle
(this is fairly old-hat as Benjamin Beaumont demonstrated this sort of
thing
at the Edinburgh conference about 10 years ago) but, while I might generate
the points of a circle using the ancient SINE-COSINE algorhthim (b*gger,
how do you spell that word?), I want the points in the listField to end
up as
whole numbers with no decimal component.
I'm not sure 'div' is going to be much help there.
I suppose I could be totally whacko and set up the decimal point as the
item delimiter
and start splitting off bits . . . .

Err . . .
So; I have several numbers that have to be divided by other numbers:
28 / 3
301 / 10
44 / 6
now these will all yield "awkward numbers" consisting of a quotient
and a remainder:
9.33
30.1
7.33
Now I know one could be "ever so slightly potty" in LiveCode to get
the quotient by doing something
like this:
put 28/3 into XX
put (28 mod 3) into YY
put (XX - YY) into ZZ
but that seems a long way round . . . but I cannot work out what the
equivalent term to 'mod'
is to get the quotient in LiveCode.
