    Question Math question(algebra)

    I am trying to make a small prog to encrypt files and I am not very good with equations, so I was wondering how you invert this equation:

    echar = echar * (echar-1074) / wkey - 289;

    echar is a float, and wkey is an int. Thanks for the help!

    Question

    It doesn't seem to work right, but I might just be my fault. What does the 1. thing do? I haven't seen that before. Thanks anyways.
