double constant evaluates to zero

Im having a problem with a seemingly simple issue;

i have a floating point constant as follows:
Inserted Code
extern double    SLPercentage = 0.1;

This simple math fails because it evaluates to zero:

Inserted Code
double adjusted = number1 / SLPercentage;

Something im missing ??

Thx

Is your Number1 variable type of an int or double? if its not a double that math you have will always return zero; If its a double then try to incrase it precision using the adjusted = NormalizeDouble( Number1 / SLPercentage, 10 ); to see if the return number is not too small to show anything meaningful.
