Enhancements of Flowcode4 Pro

I am wondering what enhancements come with the professional version of Flowcode4.
I am finding it to be a challenge to to floating point trig. How do you display a floating point (fractional) result on a LCD.
Thanks.

Hello,
To display a floating point number on the LCD you have to convert the float variable into a string. There is a function to do this available from the string manipulation icon. The Flowcode marketting datasheet details all of the key features between the different license variations.

Where is the "string manipulation icon?". I am using the student version, and I only see string, when a variable is declared.
Thanks.

Hello,
The string manuipulation icon is directly below the calculation icon in the command toolbox.

The V4 AVR floating-point article (Articles section of the forum) shows how the standard library sprintf function can be used in a Flowcode C block to convert numbers to strings - using a variety of formats - before printing to an LCD.
