Proton BASIC Community

Good afternoon,

I have a snip of code that increments or decrements each time up and down buttons are pressed.
The odd part is if I start at 2.0 it will count up 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 ect but when i count down it goes 2.2, 2.1, 1.0, 1.8, 1.7

Then if I count up again it goes 1.7, 1.8, 1.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3


Thanks for any assistance. I've tried removing float_display_type = large and still the same issue.


Its an 18F46K22
Declare Float_Display_Type = LARGE


heres the basic code snip

Hi,
I very rarely use floats like that as I think there is a known error (with the float point format, not just Positron) with small values. https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html
What I would do is increment/decrement by 1 and use that value in calculations and then divide by 10 for the output.

Another explanation of limitations of floating point arithmetic.

Quotebut when i count down it goes 2.2, 2.1, 1.0, 1.8, 1.7

There are certainly limitations with floating-point numbers, but it shouldn't be this bad.

This simple test code:
Dim dose As Float
Dim i As Byte

dose = 2.2

For i = 0 To 20
    dose = dose - 0.10
Next
counts down from 2.2 to 0.1 in 0.1 steps like it should, so there's something else going on.
I didn't check the print routines.

This is a very old error and as far as I know Les has repaired this one some years ago.
As far as I remember it was a problem with the 0.1 part.
Are you using the newest compiler version?

Johan

Thanks for the replies, I am aware of the limitations of floats but I've not seen the issue as stated. for the most part it counts by 0.1 just fine

Code Produced by the Positron8 Compiler. Version 4.0.3.4

Tumbleweed, the first time around it counted normally until i counted up then back down. After that no matter what I did the 2.0 would show as 1.0

Thanks for checking.

Jamie

Dim dose As Float
Dim i As Byte

dose = 1.0

For i = 0 To 20
    dose = dose + 0.10
Next

For i = 0 To 20
    dose = dose - 0.10
Next

Counts up and back down in 0.1 steps... nothing funny around 2.0

Are you sure it's not a Print or LCD issue? You are constantly printing in a While loop and in my experience things can get corrupted when the LCD is updated with high speed.

While 1 = 1
Print At 2,4,">> DoseTIME <<"
Print At 3,1,"DoseOFF = "
Print At 3,11, Dec1 DoseOFF," S "
