This code from Turbo Pascal worked, but not in Lazarus?
« on: July 19, 2011, 11:47:39 pm »
FloatSpinEdit2.value :=  Sqrt(-.5 * .5 +1);

Lazarus gives two messages:

unit1.pas(40,38) Error: Illegal expression
unit1.pas(40,39) Fatal: Syntax error, ")" expected but "ordinal const" found


Thanks.

Compiler only wants zeros.
Code: [Select]
  FloatSpinEdit2.value :=  Sqrt(-0.5 * 0.5 +1);

Thanks Blaazen, I wish you'd written the error messages! ::)
