Nope, Axe does not have decimal support, so you can only have whole numbers.  You can kind of multiply by 1.5 by doing

L*3/2->B

But you wont get the precision of using floating point numbers, it will drop the decimal places.

Actually, you can do decimals (for the most part).  Since variables are 2 bytes, the low byte can be the decimal part and the high byte can be the integer part.  It requires some knowledge of hexadecimal though and the math might be a little confusing at first, but its almost the same as regular math.

Quigibo, I think you should have an operator to multiply by an 8.8 fixed point value (because this type of value is what sin and cos return, right?)

Kind of.  Since the range is 127 to -127 its really half of the actual sine value.  By the way, thanks for the sin routine!  I modified it a little to get it in the right range, but it's a pretty cool optimization.  I don't know if you were aware I used it.  Someone gave it to me in IRC and said you made it.

I don't know if 8.8 multiplication is really that essential.  There's already a way to multiply by fractions (a multiplication then a division like Builderboy's example) and I've never actually needed to use 8.8 it in any of my asm programs before.

A little off topic:  I'm trying to think of a way to make shell support and I'm not sure how to do the menu because I think it'll be too complicated to have that information built into the source.  There's a lot of information in descriptions and thumbnails, both of which are hard to input.  So unless I make it real simple: Description is the first comment in the program and the thumbnail is an Axe logo, I'm not sure how to go about this and still be easy to use.  I think I'll just go with the simple way for now and do the more complicated way later.

Remember that Ion doesn't support thumbnails, tho, even when its programs are ran in Mirage. Maybe for now have the compiled program name as first line, description, and for now Axe logo for thumbnail if compiled for MirageOs. Later, maybe add support for custom logos?

That's essentially exactly what I just said

You ended it with a question mark so I thought you were asking me if that was what I was going to do.  Sorry if I misunderstood...

Oh sorry for the confusion

I sometimes tend to end my suggestions (especially short ones) with a question mark, especially when the person asks for some.

is dividing by powers of two optimized so it uses shifting instead of division?
Or better yet, Shifting and rotation commands?
