Virtronics Simulator

Have downloaded and tried their simulator and it seems very good but I think I have found a bug in the code execution s/w. I have tried to join their forum but am unable to register (keep getting a SQL error). Was wondering if anyone here is using the simulator and if the forum is still active?

BTW, the bug I think I've found is shown by the following example:

x = float(2) + 3.0; gives x = 2

whereas,

x = (float(2)) + 3.0; gives x = 5

I believe the statement former should work also (?).

Have you tried their forum?
Looks like there are two users online.

Apart from the fact that it does not seem to work properly and that you cannot register on their site that is

Have you tried the online emulator at https://wokwi.com/

As I mentioned in the OP, I tried to join their forum and got an error message. I emailed them last night but no response yet.

I will try the Wokwi product. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've taken a look at the Wokwi offering now. It may have other virtues but its command line debugger seems labourious & cumbersome compared to the Virtronics GUI. The debug was the main reason I looked for a simulator (which is sorely lacking in the Arduino IDE IMO).

I think BTW it is a bit of an overstatement to say "it does not seem to work properly" just because a bug was found.

Try this way:

x = (float(2)) + (float)(3.0);

That gives x = 5 as well (although I'm surprised the "(float)(3.0)" compiled).

"(float)(2) + (float)(3.0)" also gives x = 5.
