B4J Question Add Tax to Price Issue

[aaronk]

Hi,

I can't seem to work out what I am doing wrong with the following code.

I am trying to add 10% to the Price value, but it's doesn't seem to be working and can't work out what I am doing wrong.

Dim Price As Int = 5.50
Dim PriceTax As Int
Dim PriceTotal As Int
            
PriceTax = (Price * 0.10)
PriceTotal = (Price + PriceTax)
            
Log($"Price = ${Price}"$) ' logs 5 but should be 5.50
Log($"PriceTax = ${PriceTax}"$) ' logs 0 and should log 0.55
Log($"PriceTotal = ${PriceTotal}"$) ' logs 5 and should log 6.05

Anyone know where I have gone wrong ?

Worked it out. I needed to use Float rather than Int.

Dim Price As Float  = 5.50
Dim PriceTax As Float
Dim PriceTotal As Float
            
PriceTax = (Price * 0.10)
PriceTotal = (Price + PriceTax)
            
Log($"Price = ${Price}"$)
Log($"PriceTax = ${PriceTax}"$)
Log($"PriceTotal = ${PriceTotal}"$)

pricetotal = price * 1.1

 

[DonManfred]

pricetotal = price * 1.1

His variant will also work. But both require pricetotal being a float instad an Int. ?
