newbie question ( decimal to float )

[RedGhost]

hello, i have a decimal say 45, and i want to convert that to 45.0f for a parameter, but i am lost on how to, i've really done no work with floats in masm, in c you could do a quick typecast (float)#

- thanks in advance

Look up the "fild" instruction, it loads an integer from memory, and pushes it onto the FPU register stack.

Then you can store it into a REAL4, REAL8 or REAL10 memory variable with:

fstp mem_var

If you want more info on the use of the FPU, you may want to take a look at:
