So I have the following code: angle = progbm.progress * 30; NSLog(@%d,%f, angle, progbm.progress);

So I have the following code: 

angle = progbm.progress * 30;  
NSLog(@"%d,%f", angle, progbm.progress);

progbm is a UIProgressView (running from 0.0 to 1.0) and angle is a short.

Elsewhere I have code that updates the progress bar either up or down by 0.1. I then seem to get some weird results. Here is the console output:

2011-05-14 15:21:40.173 AppTest[768:307] 23,0.800000

How does 0.800000 * 30 equal 23?

    There are two answers to this, either

    1) use round() to get the integer value for the short.
    2) dont use a short and use a float instead.

    I eventually used option 2
