Rounding / truncation of discard expressions

1

I’ve just downloaded the latest version of Sailwave and I’m setting up this year’s series.

Usually I have copied files from previous years, but I’m having to do from scratch this year.

When I am setting up expressions for the discard profile, and test them using the “Sigma” button on the “series scoring” tab, I’m not getting integer answers, so it seems like the test (at least) is not truncating the results of the expression.

For example if I set the expression s/2 and set s to 1, the result is 0.5 not zero.

Is this to be expected or have I forgotten something?

Hi Sandy

Yes, that is normal, you will see a decimal result, but if you use the Gear wheel icon you will see the discard profile it will use

Our clubs discards are one less than half races sailed. So I used s*0.499 which seems to work.

Not sure if that helps anyone.
