In my function “main” I have: floor1 = floor(Int64, 4382/6) println("floor1 = ", floor1) Hfloor1 = 6floor1 println("Hfloor1 = ", Hfloor1) missing1 = 4382 - Hfloor1 println("missing1 = ", missing1) Hfloor2 = -6floor1 println("Hfloor2 = ", Hfloor2) missing2 = 4382 + Hfloor2 println("missing2…

You were right! Starting a new session solved the problem. THANKS A LOT!

please format your code. And what aspect of missing1 is unexpected? You probably have some code, please try in a new session.

[image] jjdegruijter: floor1 = floor(Int64, 4382/6) println("floor1 = ", floor1) Hfloor1 = 6floor1 println("Hfloor1 = ", Hfloor1) missing1 = 4382 - Hfloor1 println("missing1 = ", missing1) Isn’t it better to use div and rem (or divrem)? No reason to use floating point division here.

I didn’t expect zero as result for missing1. The correct answer is of course 2. The problem is that, when I run this as part of a code, I get 0.03. I used this as just an example. I could have given other examples. I’ve written Julia code for many years, version 0.5, 0.6 and 1.0. These problems o…

I also ran your code (julia-1.5.3; VSCodium) ==> missing1 = 2 (of course) Like jling I wonder if a new session would not solve the problem. I don’t think it has anything to do with version 1.5.x. If a new session fails to solve the problem, did you used some aliasing involving missing1? if i…
