Integer and floating ponit

Question

we have developed a program. In the schema, a course objective is related a course outcome via integer (weighted scale). Now, we want to make this relationship flexible, so, course objective can be related to the course outcome via a flexible point.
Is there any easy way to do the above. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I still not understand your question. ( I think nobody understand you too)
However, here is my guess, and try to answer your question.
( Since this is "guess", the answer may-be not related at all ... )
It seems to me that you are using interger (value) somewhere, like on
return type, input parameter, class's field, or local variable, (and in some calculation statement )
Now, you try to make it more flexible, by using "float" ( or double) instead of integer.
( or you want you can use either way, integer and float )
If that is the case, it depends on how "extend" you want.
(1) If you can ignore the decimal point value, you can simple cast the float to integer.
The modification should trivail, but I think, you like "extend" to float, because,
integer is not enough precise for you ...
Then
(2) Sorry, there are no esay way, if this happend in input parameter, you can overload
the method. if this happend in local/class's variable .. etc this should esay to fix too.
But if this happend on return type ... you may need create other method.
( java does not allow overload method if only return type is different )
Well, I hope I am guessing right your question and the answer is what you are waiting for.
