Hello! i am rewriting a hinge lib, and to be sure to have a valid setup, i wanted to check if the imputed value is uneven (??) that's when i noted, there doesn't seem to be typecasting in openscad? how do i achieve: x - 2*int(x/2) != 0 ? i searched in the archives, but i only found on how to find out what type is in the var, but not how to cast it.... thanks in advance! -- ciao Bruno =========================================== http://nohkumado.eu/, <http://bboett.free.fr>http://aikido.nohkumado.eu/, <http://bboett.free.fr> http://aikido.zorn.free.fr

There is no type casting because their is only one number type in OpenSCAD. You could use floor(x/2) as that will be an integer value held in a floating point type. The is also ceil() and round().

To test oddness x % 2 is useful. On Sun, 12 Apr 2020 at 10:52, nop head <nop.head@gmail.com> wrote: > There is no type casting because their is only one number type in > OpenSCAD.
