CS2506

hint text divides two whole numbers: the result keeps its fraction. Write int(text) if a whole number was meant.

#What it means

This is a hint from the import report. Dividing two whole numbers in ChartScript keeps the fraction (7 / 2 is 3.5). Some other script languages drop it, so the converted script may compute something different from the original.

#Typical cause

• An int / int division in a script converted by the importer, where the original language would have rounded down.

#How to fix it

If a whole number was meant, wrap the division: int(7 / 2) gives 3. If the fraction is wanted, nothing needs to change. See Known differences.

#Example

This hint is shown only by the import report. A script compiled in the editor never gets it, so no example can be checked here.
