Hi, I have an interesting example from my debugger. I have 2 variables:
sourcewidthnet and targetwidthnet. Notice the results in the debugger.
I'm going to be forced to use the int function of the decimal.toint32
since the \ operator doesn't appear to work, or I greatly misunderstand
the documentation on the \ operator.
decimal.Remaind er(sourcewidthn et, targetwidthnet) 0.375D
sourcewidthnet 96D
targetwidthnet 2.125D
SourceWidthNet / TargetWidthNet
45.176470588235 294117647058824 D(SourceWidthNe t \ TargetWidthNet)
48 Long
decimal.ToInt32 ((SourceWidthNe t / TargetWidthNet) ) 45 Integer
I can't justify the: 96 \ 2.125 = 48 answer at all!
Thanks for your input.
2  1645 
It is correct. 96 \ 2 = 48. When you do an integer division, the divisor
is the integer part, which in this case is 2.

Ok, I finally see the documentation in the remarks section:
Remarks
Before division is performed, any floating-point numeric expressions
are coerced to Long if Option Strict is Off. If Option Strict is On, a
compiler error results
Silly me, thanks.
Still to get what I'm looking for the int() and decimal.tointxx
routines will work, thanks again.

If I do from __future__ import division then eval(1/2) gives me 0.5 as
expected. But if I do print input("enter a sum: ") and enter 1/2 as
the sum I get 0 as if I hadn't done the import. I thought input was
supposed to give the same behaviour as an eval on raw input -- why the
difference here?

Regarding deserializing XML into a custom object...
I've been able to deserialize an XML doc into my custom object and
everything works great. The problem I am encountering is when one of the
XML elements contains a NULL and it maps to a variable of type Integer in my
custom object, the deserializer doesn't like this.
For example, my custom object is declared like:

The stdint.h header definition mentions five integer categories,
1) exact width, eg., int32_t
2) at least as wide as, eg., int_least32_t
3) as fast as possible but at least as wide as, eg., int_fast32_t
4) integer capable of holding a pointer, intptr_t
5) widest integer in the implementation, intmax_t
Is there a valid motivation for having both int_least and int_fast?

I got this question from my textbook and I cannot understand the theory.
When a signed positive integer X divided by pow(2,k), the result is shifting
k bits to right and putting w-k bits of 0 from the most significant bits.
However, when the X is a negative number divided by pow(2,k), the shifting
and sign bit extension method doesnt give the correct answer?
What kind of bias should we make on the X before the division?
Thanx

Does anyone know the logic behind why in VB.NET the result of a
floating-point division ('/') is -rounded- on being converted to an
integer type, such as with statements like
Dim x As Integer = 2/3 'after assignment, x is 1, whereas a sane person
would say it should be 0
Does Microsoft have a reason for this design decision? I understand
that this type of rounding can reduce the overall error in long
computation chains by reducing the...

How does (a/b) work when both 'a' and 'b' are pure integers ?
4
-5
Why is it -5 ? I expect it to be -4 ? Because, in C/C++, 9/2 is 4 and
so negative of it, (-9/2) is -4.
What should I do to get C-like behavior ?

Hi,
If I have three 64 bit integers and I want to do this operation on them:
x*y/z
Lets say that what we are multiplying by (y) is offset by what we are
dividing by (z) so that the final answer will fit in a 64-bit integer.
Let me simplify it by using unsigned chars (8 bits):

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
