Suggestions on how to minimise code size

[bluejets]

Have almost completed my first project using Flowcode 5 student version however when I compile it says I have gone over the 4K limit.
This was some concern to me when I initially bought the program as I had no real indicaton of limitations.
This has since been rectified in an earlier post and thanks to the suggestions there.

Thought perhaps someone could suggest a better way of approaching the job and get down under the limit.
Presently it is 290 odd over.

Hello,

Would it be possible to do the calculation using integer maths. The Floating point library for PIC will be huge and is likely consuming a lot of your ROM space.

The reason I used the floating point was because of the following calculation......

Calculate_Degrees = BCD - (Delay_Time / Cycle_Time) * 360

Without using floating point values, It would always return BCD value only and I thought the floating point approach was the only way.

You could reorganize the formula a bit:

Calculate_Degrees = BCD - ( Delay_Time * 360 ) / Cycle_Time

Use a Long for Delay_Time if the result of the multiplication exceeds 32768.
