Hi All, When you do division on two durs a float is returned. When you divide a dur by a float you get a dur as well. There are some examples on the reserved words page on the docs site. Here is how you can divide two durs to make a new dur. 10::second => dur a; 5::second => dur b; a/b => float g; g::second => dur newdur; Doing a/b::second => dur q; gives a parse error however. This works nicely though. 10::second => dur a; a/2. => dur b; Hope that helps. art On Feb 16, 2005, at 3:11 PM, Philip Davidson wrote:
Micheal,
math on durs is supported, but not completely ( some revision to dur handing is needed )
dur * float => dur ; should work. not sure about float * dur => dur; I don't believe that division is properly supported.
this code would work -- 1::second => dur beat; beat * 0.5 => dur h; -or- beat * 0.5 => now; --
where it stands for now...

Hello ChucKers,
Is there any way to go from an int or float value of a variable to a duration? e.g.
1 => int value; value::second => dur some_unknown_number_of_seconds;
What I'm really trying to do is math with durations and numbers,
1::second => dur w; (w / 2) => dur h;
Thank you,
michael
