This is my program line:
short nHalf = (short)Math.Floor(nDegree/2);

whn i run my application it shows error on the above line in c#.net...

Error Name:

The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'System.Math.Floor(decimal)' and 'System.Math.Floor(double)'....

BYPsoft · Answer

The meaning is as it's said ambigius call to function which is defined aas Math.Floor(decimal) and Math.Floor(double). Compiler can not resolve your call and decide which one to use. To get rid of this error cast your result to decimal or double as short nHalf = (short)Math.Floor((double)nDegree / 2);
