Division irregularities

[Parul Bagadia]

In my assignment of converting a number from one base system to another, whenever m dividing a decimal no; an integer in dat type by some number; many irregular results are coming; which i got when i debugged my program.
For converting a no, to binary when m dividing it by 2; only for special cases like; for 7/2 i got 4 instead of 3 and hence the complete answer is changing.
For 15/16 i got 1 instead of 0.
A very small part of my one function m posting over here.
Tell me if u can point out what's wrong,
Do
reminder(j) = store Mod 2
store = store / 2
j = j + 1
Loop While (store <> 0)

that is because you are using variables of wrong data type . use decimal in place of integer . i hope the problem will be solved.

Use int() function-it returns only the integer portion of a number.

dim a as integer

a=int(15/16)
msgbox a

the output is 0 and not 1.

I changed my code and used DECIMAL instead of integer; but there is no such data-type itself.

what about that int() fuction?useful? ?

I dont think so, because instead of 0 m getting 1.....so its not the matter of integer; value itself is coming different..

Hello ppl, can sbd plz gonna tell me what magic is happening in my program?
I tried int function which is ofcourse not needed ,also done with decimal as data type in which i got syntax error there itself coz that type doesnt exist; i also wrote another function for division; but invain; m getting illogical answers as 7/2=4 instead of 3.......and so on; the same story..
Can sbd explain plz?

Possible solution:

1) Try to use "\" in the devision instead "/" (YES it's different)

Yaeh it worked!

But can u tell me how it worked?
I mean i didnt even know that this sign is used for division!...fro m which book or website or from where u got this?
Plz tell me; even i want to read.
