round() is the better solution, but i just wanted to see if that was what was causing the error :) round() does what you want, iPart() doesnt quite, but it at least takes out the error.

Why would round( be better in this case?

Because if you do some math and get a decimal that is 7.9999999999999999, iPart() will give you 7, and round() will give 8.

Well since the numbers are "whole" (or supposed to be and appear to be) there isn't a place where you'll get that. I have round( earlier in a the program though to take care of that issue you said though. I mean this whole issue has been about this number is supposed to be whole but apparently has a decimal place that doesn't show or something.

round( should always take care of it, though. Could you maybe post the code? There might be something else interfering with it.

That's what I assumed but ya. Hold on.

Edit:
The code that was giving the error was:

Code: [Select]
7fPart((round(7fPart(Z/7),0)+28(M>2)+31sum(M>{1,3,5,7,8,10})+(M≥2)iPart(Z/4)+30sum(M>{4,6,9,11}))/7→U
All I did to fix that was put a iPart( in the front of that and it works, though it shouldn't be necessary (in theory).

Yeah the code could really help in this case, seems likes a specific instruction that is adding in the decimal

I posted the code in that previous post. It seems I did it before I saw you posted.

I'd assume it's the first 7fPart(. The round( doesn't take care of that.

EDIT: Just move the round( to the beginning (and take care of the syntax, of course).

EDIT2: In other words, do this:
Code: (TI-BASIC) [Select]
round(7fPart((7fPart(Z/7)+28(M>2)+31sum(M>{1,3,5,7,8,10})+(M≥2)iPart(Z/4)+30sum(M>{4,6,9,11}))/7),0)→U

EDIT3: I haven't tested it, though.

Well it shouldn't matter because those just return the moduli of the equations. So they should be whole numbers.

Yeah, but the 7fPart( could produce another rounding error. That's why you need round(, anyway.

Not sure if I understand you correctly...

Try this code:
0->A
0->B
1/3->C
Repeat getKey
A+C->A
B+1->B
End
Disp int(B/3),int(A

Well it works now with doing what you said so it's fine. But if I understand modulus correctly it has to be a whole number (I believe) and all MfPart(A/M does is return the moduli where M is the modulus and A is the number that you're getting the moduli from (ya, some of that grammar is probably incorrect but that's because I don't know much about what is what when it comes to modulus and such). So it should be a whole number. But it works now so no worries. Thanks guys :)

@Z
What is that code supposed to do and who is supposed to try it?

Well, just for clarification, MfPart(A/M isn't a system routine to find the modulus. It does exactly what you see there: it divides A by M, and takes the fPart, which is some random decimal. Multiplying it by M doesn't always produce a whole number because of the calc's stupid rounding errors. It's like that trick where

Code: (TI-BASIC) [Select]
Disp 1+E99-E99

produces a 0.

Ya, I know. But it's supposed to. But ya, it was just pissing me off because it wasn't showing there was a decimal place at all when I checked the value. So I had no idea what was going on. But thanks.
