How Percentage work at expressions?

Hello

I want to know how to make percentage work at the expressions interface..

Example:

200 - 20% of it = 160

but don't know how to express it in Construct, so I had to make a longer expression to obtain the same result:

200-(200/(100/20)) = 160

but would be better just to use percentage to obtain the same value..

200-(0.2*200)

200 * 0.80 = 160

this is the simplest method..

200 * 0.80 = 160

this is the simplest method..

and how did u obtain 0.80?

I don't want to obtain the result 160, it was just an example.

I want a value that is substracted by x% of it.

Just remember that a percent is always based on 100.

Nice refresher from khanacademy.org.

200-(0.2*200)

with this method first I would need to transform 20 to 0.2(20/100), so at the end would be like my method..

Well you can always multiply by 0.01 to get the hundredths position.

So n-(0.01*p*n)

Just remember that a percent is always based on 100.

Ahm.. I know that lol

if hasn't I wouldn't obtained the same result, again, my question is how to use the '%' at the expression.

just to make it clear

there is 3 variables:

life-100

attack-20

defense-10

you hit by 20(atk) - 10(def)% of it = 18

then life reduces to 182.

Well you can always multiply by 0.01 to get the hundredths position.

So n-(0.01*p*n)

50/100 and 50*0.01 is the same.

There is no % used in expressions, only as plain text.

The percentage sign "%" otherwise is taken as modulo, the remainder from division.

Correction

% when used in expressions gives you the remainder from division, so yes it is used in expressions, just not for doing percentages.

Hmm.. that was what I was trying to understand.. so we need to create our own expressions for percentages then..

thanks for your time ;)
