Hi folks,

I'm working on a project, that needs to get the values entered by the user from the "edit box". But when the value is retrieved, just one of the decimal part is retrieved. For eg: The value 23.785 is retrieved as 23.7

C++

double Function1::GetValue()
{
    switch (Type)
  {
 
  case FLOAT:
    return (double)(float)*this;

  case DOUBLE:
    return (double)(double)*this;
}

How do I get the whole number??

How do you know you get 23.7. Have you checked it in the debugger?

Yes. Run my program in debugger.

You didn't provide enough information for us to be able to say anything. What does (double)(float)*this and (double)(double)*this do? I supose you created operators for your class, show us the code for those, and please don't forget the <pre> tags.

Well I use variable1.GetValue() To get the values from the edit box.

The GetValue() function converts any value from the edit box to a double number.

Code-o-mat 11-Apr-12 4:49am

All right, but how? Show us the code that does the conversion please.

Ooops Sorry !!! I made a silly mistake of assigning the double values float!!!! Now the obtained values are perfect.

Happens to the best of us. :)

Cheers n thanks for your time.

Added Pretags. As pwasser told its best to check with the debugger. You can easily make out what exactly is the problem and why the values are getting sliced. btw is that your code or somebody has done it before

Sumal.V 11-Apr-12 4:44am

Well I'm working on previously written code!

Hi! Chandrasekharan,
I guess because you edited my question I'm unable to click the "Solved it myself" button

Make sure you add pretags next time so that no one else will update your question.

Posting a confession of error does not qualify as a solution. This should be in the comments where it belongs. Better still remove the question if possible.

Sumal.V 11-Apr-12 7:53am

Well there is no option where I can delete the question.
