I'm trying to get to convert the decimals to a fraction so for example, I had written something such as var _pow:int = Math.pow(base,i)
and if i
turned out to be a negative number it would give out a decimal (example: 3 ^ -2) and I'm currently stuck trying to find a way to turn _pow into a franction (so _pow out of a 100) so I tried to do var _pow:int = Math.pow(base,i) * 100
which should stop it from being a decimal but it's not showing in the dynamic text, and this only happens if i
is negative
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class name_ extends MovieClip{
public function _name_(){
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, input)
base.restrict = "0-9\\.\\-";
pow.restrict = "0-9\\.\\-";
answer.multiline = true;
}
private function input(event:MouseEvent):void{
var pow = pow.text;
var base = base.text;
var answerText:String = "";
if(pow > 0){
for(var i = 1; i <= pow; i++){
_pow = Math.pow(base,i);
answerText += ("\n" + base + " exposant(power) " + i + " = "+ _pow );
answer.text = answerText;
}
}else{
for(i = 1; i <= pow; i++){
var _pow:int = Math.pow(base,i) * 100
answerText += ("\n" + base + " exposant(power) " + i + " = "+ _pow );
answer.text = answerText; //Dynamic text
}
}
}
}
}
Have you tried using an "if" statement? Something like if(i <= 0){code}.
You can also try using the Math.floor(number to be rounded down); or Math.ceiling(number to be rounded up)
