Math.Round as 'int' not working

[arbuthnot]

Hi guys

In Variables, I've declared:

private double mult = 2.0;
private int var1 = 2
private int var2 = 2

then in OnBarUpdate, I've put:

Var1 = 3*Mult;
Var2 = Math.Round(2*Mult, 0);

The Var1 = 3*Mult works OK, but the Var2 = Math.Round(2*Mult, 0) doesn't compile: there's obviously a int/double mismatch. The exact error message is:

Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

I need Var2 to be 'int' as I use it later in HMA(Median, Var2).

Any advice as to how to solve this conundrum will be greatly appreciated.

Hi arbuthnot,

Using the NinjaTrader editor, when you type in the following string...

Var2 = Math.Round(

When you enter the curved bracket, You will be offered a series of options to complete the statement. Just follow the format you want.

hello arbuthnot,

you could use the following code to load the integers with the doubles values:

 
Var1 = ([COLOR=blue]int[/COLOR])(3*Mult);
Var2 = ([COLOR=blue]int[/COLOR])Math.Round(2*Mult,0);

Thanks very much, RJay. That's a very useful suggestion but it doesn't seem to work on my NT7. Maybe because I'm using XP...

hello arbuthnot,

you could use the following code to load the integers with the doubles values:
Code:
Var1 = (int)(3*Mult); Var2 = (int)Math.Round(2*Mult,0);

Thanks very much, Marco, I've done as you suggested and that works perfectly. Not for the first time I'm very grateful to you.
