I need to assign a decimal to a variable, but I keep getting errors, and float isn't working.(I'm using unity, and visual studio

Question

here's the code:

int hp = 100;
float shieldPower = 76.5f;
int laserDamage = 15;

hp -= (laserDamage - shieldPower);

Error message: Cannot implicitly convert type 'float' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists(are you missing a cast?)

Answer 1

Please share your code and the errors.

Answer 2

the result of statement
hp -= (laserDamage - shieldPower);
is float, and the value must stored in float variable.
but if you want to store it in int, try to cast (use casting) the result, like that:
hp -= (int)(laserDamage - shieldPower);

Thank you! I think it's working. I'm really new to C#, so all the help is really appreciated.
