[Pawn] Problem with percentage

[GospodinX]

Hi guys



I use percentage for many things in my SA-MP server.(discounts,tax etc),but I have some problems with it.



For "small" numbers it work pretty nice.



Code:

Code:

new result = PERCENT*PRICE/100;



printf("Result: %d",result);

First test:

PERCENT: 75

PRICE: 140 000 000

Result:?19100654



Result is ok



Second test:

PERCENT: 75

PRICE: 340 000 000

Result:?-17698038



Result is wrong





Does anyone have idea how I should fix it?

Because -2??-1 is the max value a single variable can store and as soon as you can try to go beyond that value, it overflows and starts going backwards...



Try price * 0.percentage



Ex: 340 000 000 * 0.75

Hm ?

My bad, price - (price * 0.75)
