Help needed on, simple but strange error!!!

[Anil Varma]

Hi Fellow Members

I have a strange error/issue, where my variable are correctly found but division results is shown as Zero!!!

if(i <= 3) {
        if(DoPrint) PrintFormat("%s [%s] idxLoop[%i] TSV EMA (%i - %i) / %i = [%i]%+.8f",vMethod,mIndexTime,idxLoop,TSV[i].ema,TSV[i+2].ema,TSV[i+2].ema,i,TSV[i].slope);
        TSV[i].slope             = (TSV[i].ema - TSV[i+2].ema) / TSV[i+2].ema;
}

as you can see, the calculation outcome is 710476 - 911206 = -200730 / 911206 = -0.22029, however the result is 0.000000 (makred in red ink)!!!

Any clues why the calculated results are showing zero value?

Thanks in advance :)

Because it's zero.

Your ema values are integers, so your slope value is the result of an integers division, can't have decimals.

Thanks @Alain changing buffers to double resolved the issue.
