Other than that, however, generally [[Long Integer|longs]] and [[Short Integer|shorts]] will be rounded off to the nearest integer (i.e. 1.25 becomes 1, 1.75 becomes 2), while [[Floating Point|floats]] will store the decimal data. However, if a variable is a Global, then it will ''always'' be a [[Floating Point|float]] and therefore will not round off the decimal values. | Other than that, however, generally [[Long Integer|longs]] and [[Short Integer|shorts]] will be rounded off to the nearest integer (i.e. 1.25 becomes 1, 1.75 becomes 2), while [[Floating Point|floats]] will store the decimal data.

NOTE : Long ago, an OBSE developer mentioned that, internally, the engine stores ALL vars as floats. (QQuix) so it is no problem if you set short value above 32767, the maximum limit positive number is 2,147,483,647 (or hexadecimal 7FFF,FFFF16) | |||
