RE: Floats and Percentage

Extreme and Shaklaban - Thanks guys though Its not a percentage function I need. Its the floats I am confused about.
(Value/100*Percentage) is fine in integers, though I wanted to do it the other way for example 25% of 100 = (100*0.25)
Now casting an integer to a float in sphere is slightly puzzling. Take the little function below.

Code:

[FUNCTION f_floatYerBoat]

FLOAT.Whatever=<FVAL <ARGV[0]>>

SAY <FLOAT.Whatever>

If I input .f_floatYerBoat 20; I would expect to see 20.0 returned but instead it returns 2.00000, meaning its not simply returned my whole number as a decimal, instead it has divided it by 10 then returned it as a decimal.
So I was wondering am I using FLOAT and FVAL correctly ?
