Hello all,

I have to define the upper bound of a range that takes value based on an integer parameter. Let's assume that this parameter is called R and equals to 10. So I want this range to have an upper bound of R/2 or 10/2=5. When I try to assign this value of 5 to an integer variable in order to define the upper bound of the range, I get the error "Cannot use type float for int" as 0.5 is not an integer value, however the value I am trying to get is still an integer one.

How may I make sure that I end up with an integer variable for the upper bound (maybe via a function for rounding float parameters)? What are your suggestions to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Could you provide a code example? I am not sure computed bounds are allowed in the place in which you are trying to use them.

Have you tried using ftoi() to explicitly convert the float to an int?

Yes, certainly. Here's my code:

 int R[1..T] = ...; //Integer parameters that I want to define the lower and upper bound of a range with
 int upr1=2*R[1]; //Upper bound of the range
 int lw1=R[1]/2; //Lower bound of the range - the error occurs here
 range rr1=lw1..upr1;

I haven't tried using ftoi() for the conversion.

Edit: Using ftoi() seems to work perfectly fine. Thanks!

Well, then how about just trying ftoi() :-)

The following seems to work for me (does not give an error):

int lw1=ftoi(round(R[1]/2));
