This is normal behaviour. The div operator is used to divide 2
numbers. Applescript converts both numbers to integers (if they're
not already integers), performs the division, and discards any
fractional remainder. The result is always an integer. Use / instead
of div.
Oh, you're perfectly correct !
Just as someone found out it was OK mixing soda with chocolate, Mr.
Bansemer
found this funny bug. Please, check it out and report!
set n to 1.015 * 100 --> 101.5
set n to n + 0.5 --> 102.0
n div 1 --> 101 --> (!)
The workaround for the "affected routines" would be coercing n to
"small
real" (if you wish to preserve decimals) before using div.
