Fixed Point to Digit String

RogerInHawaii

I have a fixed point binary value. It has 16 bits of integer and 16 bits of fractional value. I know how to convert the integer portion to a decimal string, but how do I convert the fractional part to a decimal string?

Roger, your can look at the current number as a 32-bit value in units of 1/65536. You can use the spin ** operator to scale this so it is in units of 1/10000 instead, then convert it to a straight integer and force four decimal places.

The scaling constant needed is 10000/65536 * 2^32 or decimal 655360000 (duh) or $27100000.
