Problem With Math Operator " \ ".

[ra68gi 0]

Hi Dave,

I am getting error when i use integer divide operator "\".

 

#pragma DATA     _CONFIG,  _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC & _CP_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF

'portb pins gives BCD out to be viewed in simulator
dim tens as byte, units as byte
sub main()
trisb=0
dim z as byte,y as byte
do while true
for y=0 to 99
tens = y \ 10
units=y Mod 10
tens=tens*16
portb=units+tens
call delay_ms(500)
next y
loop
end sub

_.bas

SB_BCD_0_TO_99.bas(10): error: general error

 

failure

Exit code was 1.

Removing target: _.obj

SB_BCD_0_TO_99.bas(10): error: failure

Failed to locate output file '_.obj'

Done

 

Failed

 

But it compiles well with floating point divide operator "/".

 

in the above code if i changed it to

 

tens = y / 10  '"/" works but not "\"

 

it works.

 

what might be the problem.
