[TIB] Re: Integral Variables...
(blinks)
Will exact(int(x)) seriously work?
I must test this. Tomorrow, school, startTmr(). Or
whatever that function is.
Woo for the new features. Is there a certain operation
that I should run to use the arithmatic functions for the
ints? Like 2+1=3, all ints? (Someone mentioned an
intDiv() earlier...)
