Errors when adding a GUI.Label C#

Question

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. For the String parameter I have also tried with a .ToString on both calls.

 GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width/2, Screen.height*0.2, 150, 50), "$" + Money);
 GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width*0.1, Screen.height*0.2, 150, 50), Depth + " ft.");

Any help on solving what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated! Here are my variables used.

 int Money = 50;
 int Depth = 0;

I would really like to keep the variables int's as well. Here are the error's.

error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for UnityEngine.Rect.Rect(float, float, float, float)' has some invalid arguments error CS1503: Argument #2' cannot convert double' expression to type float'

Your error says that Rect is expecting a float but it got somet$$anonymous$$ng different. The compiler t$$anonymous$$nk you're passing in double numbers instead of float. Basically there are different size decimal numbers in the computer...

For all of your decimal numbers, you need to use an f on the end like 0.2f . When you type 0.2 the compiler t$$anonymous$$nks its a double, but rect takes in floats.

 GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width/2, Screen.height*0.2f, 150, 50), "$" + Money);
 GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width*0.1, Screen.height*0.2f, 150, 50), Depth + " ft.");

As the error says, you need float as parameters, not double. To put a float value, you need to add 'f' at the end of the number.

double

1.0f float

Try t$$anonymous$$s:


GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width/2f, Screen.height*0.2f, 150f, 50f), "$" + Money);
GUI.Label( new Rect(Screen.width*0.1f, Screen.height*0.2f, 150f, 50f), Depth + " ft.");
