Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  Nimue said  Inadvertently I figured the i%=i%+1 needed to be inside the for loop.

Understandable. I didn't run the suggested code earlier because I couldn't see what the addition was supposed to show. (And maybe you're right.)

I "obviously" (erm honestly)  figured that unless the for loop was actually doing something then any difference between int and float would be negligible.

  Nimue said  The "issue" with mine was:

your code....

timer=0
for n%=1 to 1000000:next
i% = i% + 1
?timer


Inadvertently I figured the i%=i%+1 needed to be inside the for loop.

my code:

timer=0
for n%=1 to 1000000
  i% = i% + 1
next
?timer



Thanks !

(Cough, ahem, cough) yes you are both right       I was tired m'lud etc etc.
The point was, I don't think the empty loop is a good general test of floating point
