Right!
I'm trying to finish up a class i'm working on to add to the project myself and a friend are working on..
I can't say too much about the game, apart from it's A Pokemon game, AND, it's created from scratch, no starter packs or anything of the sort..

I'm working on a math algo for an Eratic (No it's spelt like that :P) Leveling Pokemon.
Yet the algorithm I'm faced with contains math that I am yet to understand.

(Due to lack of posts, I'm forced to add the image as an attachment [Found at the end of this post])

The bracket type character around the N/3 confuses me..
Any Advice / Tips / Help?

Thanks In Advance

Edit: Several of these brackets arise in the algorithm, I really need this explained so I can translate it into a code version.

I must admit I'm not entirely sure this goes here but I don't know where it goes otherwise so I'll just leave it here. XD;

Anyway, I've only ever seen them as rounding brackets (see wiki). So I assume you'd just round n/3 down to the integer before multiplying by 1/50.

Well i've got another example that's got the bracket next to addition
for example
24+[$n+1/3]

Then your theory doesn't apply/work :P
Grr, This is annoying the hell outta me, I hate not being able to figure things out. haha

Edit: Just read the wiki page, Explains everything perfectly!
Thank you so much, Means alot!!
