floating point comparison
« Thread started on: Feb 8th, 2018, 9:02pm » |

Evening all, can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work? On the face of it, it gives the right result, but if you change the values of [result] and [result+8] it simply fails!
Help, anyone
Code: MODE 7 DIM code% NOTEND AND 2047, code% 2047 DIM result 27 |result = 11.87655 |(result+8) = 17.87655 |(result+16) = 0.1 FOR opt% = 0 TO 2 STEP 2 P% = code% [ OPT opt% .start mov eax, 0 mov DWORD [result+24], 0 fld QWORD [result] fld QWORD [result+16] faddp ST1, ST0 fcomp QWORD [result+8] fstsw ax wait sahf ja next_calc mov DWORD [result+24], 2 ret .next_calc mov eax, 0 fld QWORD [result] fld QWORD [result+16] fsubp ST1, ST0 fcomp QWORD [result+8] mov eax, 0 fstsw ax wait sahf jb end mov DWORD [result+24], 3 ret .end mov DWORD [result+24], 1 ret ] NEXT CALL start PRINT !(result+24)

The code requires a *FLOAT 64 but as listed there isn't one. Of course it might simply have been lost in copying the listing into the forum, but it's the first thing I would check.

Thanks for the swift response Richard, you're right that the *FLOAT command is missing because of transposing into the forum. It turns out as you probably know there is nothing wrong with the code, it was the test on return from the routine that was at fault.
