float type pointers
PostPosted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 2:39 pm     Reply with quote

Hello,

I can not seem to get the correct results when working with float type variable. I have an example of what i am trying to do below. first passing a some float parameters and observing the result, doing the same operation without passing. Is there something that i am missing??

Code:

 #include <16F877>
#device *=16
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NOWRT,NOCPD
#use delay(clock=20000000)

void point_back_float(float *a, float *b, float *c){
*c = a/b;
}

void main(){

float a=3.0,b=10.0,c = 0;

point_back_float(&a,&b,&c);     //pass operation

c = a/b;    //internal operation

}

If you pass everything with a pointer, then you have to de-reference
everything. Example of how to fix it:
Code:
*c = (*a)/(*b);
