Fractional repeat blocks

NamePending_

I'm not sure if this belongs in the HwS forum or not, but what happens if a repeat block has a decimal in it? If i have this code:

repeat (variable set to 3 point something)

end

then what would happen in the code? Would it round for how many times it would repeat?

I just tested it, and I'm not able to put a decimal point in there in the first place.

Yes, but you could use this:

repeat (variable) // set to a decimal

end

So what would happen if you did that?

testing it, it seems to just round it to the nearest number

It rounds the decimal to the nearest whole number. Negatives simply just do not work, and function the same as repeating 0.

Tested, the variable just rounds to the nearest number.
