| 21:19.06 | The_Noah | is it bad to use a even float (e.g. 13.0) in place of an int? |
| 21:38.13 | macsforme | for what purpose? |
| 21:55.51 | JeffM | he's talking about casting warnings in GL code he was modifing |

| 22:18.41 | JeffM | The_Noah: for the graphics code, no if you are doing math with floats you can just keep things as floats |
| 22:19.01 | JeffM | specially if its' going into a float GL function |
| 22:27.25 | The_Noah | i mean in general |
| 22:28.09 | The_Noah | man, gotta go again |

| 22:52.21 | macsforme | yes, I was trying to determine what the purpose of the value was and which function he was passing it to |
| 22:53.05 | JeffM | he's coming from mostly interpreted scripting languages so probably has little experience with actual data types. |
| 22:53.06 | macsforme | many GL functions have both float and int variants |
| 22:53.17 | JeffM | yeah and the code he was using was using both |
| 22:53.23 | JeffM | it was not pretty |
| 22:56.24 | L4m3r | Could be worse, I do a lot of work with a Pick-based system, so everything is stored as a string D: |
| 22:56.57 | JeffM | a number of typeless langauges do that |
| 22:57.43 | L4m3r | It's not pretty. especially decimals, everything is fixed point and stored without the point |
| 22:57.47 | macsforme | not unlike our own BZDB :P |
| 22:58.10 | L4m3r | and storing numeric data as a base 10 string just feels wrong |
| 23:00.34 | JeffM | yup |

| 23:47.43 | JeffM | The_Noah: in general if the data makes sense for integers use ingegers |
| 23:47.53 | JeffM | for GL, you match the function you are calling |
| 23:48.06 | JeffM | but like I would not use a float for a counter or anything |
| 23:48.15 | JeffM | you'd run in to rounding issues |
| 23:50.09 | The_Noah | ok thanks |
| 23:50.34 | JeffM | for GUI related GL calls that are dealing in pixel space it's ok to use int GL calls |
| 23:50.44 | JeffM | but I would not use an int GL call for something in the 3d world. |
| 23:53.22 | The_Noah | i understand |
