is wrangle working with division in float?

when i tried

f@result = @ptnum / (@numpt-1);

it supposed to give me gradual float values from 0~1 but it didn't. everything returns 0 except the last value with 1. it works as if floor() has been applied.

anything wrong i did?

try

@numpt_ = (@numpt-1);
@result = @ptnum /@numpt_;

I don't think setting the variable type implicitly casts the terms of the expression.

I always explicitly cast the second term of the division:

@u = @ptnum / float(@numpt);

both are working fine.

thanks everyone!
