From: John Beckett Ellen K. wrote in message news:: > The weird rounding was in VB 5 already, and maybe earlier versions, Yes! I keep VB3 for nostalgic reasons. VB people used to have mega arguments about the fact that VB3 has the "fair" rounding discussed in this thread. Here is a command (first line) and the response (second line) in the immediate command window of VB3: ? CInt(1.5); CInt(2.5) 2 2 Here, "?" means "print the value of". CInt is "convert to integer". This shows that 1.5 is rounded up, while 2.5 is rounded down. VB has many mind-boggling features. Integer division (\) is one: ? 1.5 \ 1; 2.5 \ 1 2 2 Here we see that integer division cleverly rounds the values BEFORE the division. A humble C programmer finds this behaviour quite unfair.
