Getting 0 for steps/stepGoal

Dear Community,

I try to represent steps progress towards a goal on my watch face, and for that I need a percentage of achievement.

When I do steps/stepGoal I always get 0, no matter the values of the variables are - e.g. if steps==2500 and stepGoal==5000 should return 0.5, but I get 0.

I tried adding .toNumber(), but that didn't work.

Need to mention, I tried only on simulator so far.

Are you using ActivityMonitor.getInfo() in each call to onUpdate() are you only calling it once? When you call it, it's static data and won't change, so you want top call it each time you are doing the calculation.

also, if you are doing var percent=sets/goal

the result will be a number, so you want to do something like

var perccent=stemps.toFloat()/goal

so the result will be a float

Adding .toFloat() to steps resolved the issue, thank you!

I thought the result to be in Float automatically...

And yes, I'm getting the info on onUpdate().

When you divide a Number by a Number, the result is a Number. Make one a Float, and the result is a Float
