Current value/Max value * 100.

I'll just show my way of doing it, which is the coolest (this has been proven by my school friends, who claim I'm "cool" for some reason). Say you have two variables: <code>HP</code> and <code>MaxHP</code>. To get the percent of HP, simply calculate it like so: <code>HP/(MaxHP/100)</code> | |
It's the samething as what DAU showed AD, in the end. >_>
Assume 'current' value is 10 and max is 200, and don't forget BADMAS DAU showed us: 10/200*100% => (0.05)*100% = 5% AD showed us: 10/(200/100%) => 10/2 % => 5% The only difference is the placing of the 100%, DAU was multiplying the numerator while AD was dividing the denominator. DAU's basically is :(10*100%)/200 Er yeah, anyways, it's a personal preference type of thing <_< - GhostAnime | |
Yeah, but I don't understand DAU's version that well, so I use mine anyway. Also, it isn't "100%", since it's supposed to be an integer. The modula doesn't fit into it. It's just in(s)ane.

the % sign was there as a unit, not as an operator. Sorry that I didn't state it (I am so used to putting in units because of my damned chemistry course).
