How do I get a greater no. of decimal places with a float?

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Hi guys.

This might be obvious to some but how do I get a greater number of decimal places for a floating point value because at the moment ChucK only gives me 6 decimal places?!

I.e.

0.123456 (what I'm getting)

0.123456789 (what I'd like)

Thanks

I believe that ChucK internally uses double-floats so that's in fact a very high resolution internally. If you'd like to print more of it you could try something like this;

<<<my_float, (my_float * 1000000)%1>>>;

I'm fairly certain that should work but I just thought it up myself....

Thanks Kassen.

Another noodle scratcher for you...

Why cant I change an array inside an if statement?

[Dr. Spankenstein]

So if I had the elements...

[0.5, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5]

and I wanted it to go into (in order)...

float foo[]

I would have to type....

Ok so I have a multi-dimensional array and want to acess the value at the first element but ignore the first [] value and only take the second [] value how would I go about doing that.

I.e

I have:

Basically, you should look at 2d arrays as a paper for math with those squares printed on it.

Let's say we have a 2d array of 3x3 size;

int matrix[3][3];

Suppose we wanted it to look like this;

0 0 0
0 1 3
0 0 0

In that case we'd do this;

int matrix[3][3];
1 => matrix[1][1];
3 => matrix[1][2];

This is asuming we start numbering at the upper left and considder the vertical dimention the first number. There are more examples in the chapter of the manual on arrays, it's not that hard but it does get harder to mentally picture it once you get into larger dimentions.

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Aye I had a look at the manual before posting and was none the wiser.

Thankyou for painting a clearer picture for me though, I finally understand thanks to the visual repesentation!
