Convert Integer to Double

General
1

I’ve been using the following to convert an Integer to a Double:

Val(Str(i))

where i is an Integer.

Is there a more direct way to do this? I need to convert an Integer occasionally to a Double to use Format.

dim i as integer = 5 dim d as double = i msgbox str(d)

Format accepts either a Double or an Integer. No conversion required.

Any function that accepts a Double will also accept an Integer.

In general, Integer converts automatically to Double. That makes it hard to distinguish the two, but makes it easy to code.

Well, well. I thought I always found the compiler complaining about using an Integer in the Format function, but now I see it’s fine with it. Not sure what I was doing in the past that made me think that. Thanks as usual, Tim.
