A possible issue with untyped literal numbers

[Marc Vertes]

Hello,

I see that the following code

func main() { println(100 % 1e2) }

is rejected by the compiler with "invalid operation: operator % not defined on untyped float"

but the following

func main() { i := 100; println(i % 1e2) }

is happily accepted. Should I open an issue on this ? What should the normal behaviour be ?

Thanks!

This in fact is correct behavior.

As 100 is an untyped integer constant, 1e2 can not be implicitly converted to the same type and so the % operation fails.

You can fix it with:

func main() { println(int(100) % 1e2) }

Now 1e2 is converted to 'int' and all is well :)
