array indices burn in hell for all eternity!

AAARRRGGG

why does

index = (int) (distanceIndex + 0.5)
and
index = (int) distanceIndex + 0.5

produce such bloody drastically different results....?

ummm....the same reason (x)(3y+2) is different than (x)3y+2 ?  just guessing...

No, int isn't a number, it is an operator that converts everything after it to an integer. It doesn't get multiplied through haha. Although maybe it converts only the first argument if there aren't brackets.... hmm...
