    little problem here... but I don't understand why

    Power = 1 / OrigBase;

    where
    Power is a long double
    OrigBase is an integer

    Why the value of Power is always 0, whatever the OrigBase value is???

    I mean 1 / 3 != 0!!!!!


    Thx a lot

    i think origbase needs to be float or double as well
