I still cannot get my head around how to tell what is what
On my Explore 100 I have serial data being received [code]STXW , 23.42, 982.11, 253.372, 1.60, 2.24, 3.65, 0.0000, 0.0000, 24.32, 0.00, 21.69, 0.00, 3.88, 51.33,*[/code]
I'm trying to print the pressure which is fieldarray 2
I have pressure declared as an integer
and I'm using this code to print the pressure [code]pressure =VAL(FieldArray$(2)),0,2) print pressure, " pressure"[/code]
However its only printing the whole numbers not the decimals, in this example 982 pressure
What I want to do is compare two sets of pressure and if one is higher then display something on the display, however for now a print statement would do to show its working. but I cant get it to subtract the 2 sets of numbers

Integers are whole numbers with no decimal point. MMBasic uses signed integers so it is a positive or negative whole number.
If you want to display numbers that include a fraction of a whole number (something after a decimal point) then you need to use float as PicFan suggested.

life used to be so much simpler, when every integer ended in a "%", and every string ended in a "$"...
cheers, rob :-)

Still can... choices eh? variable name fluidity!
strings will be strings and floats will be floats, it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola$
