[maxmsp] Output of an if statement

Hi,
This is probably a very stupid question but I'm stuck.

I've got an if statement and I'm trying to output a float.

This is what it would look like in C:

If $i1 < 44
Then output $i1/44 (float)
else output 1.

This is the patch I have so far...

#P window setfont "Sans Serif" 9.;
#P flonum 314 322 35 9 0 0 0 139 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 236 306 27 9109513 / 1.;
#P flonum 271 283 35 9 0 0 0 139 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P flonum 234 233 35 9 0 0 0 139 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P flonum 206 374 35 9 0 0 0 139 0 0 0 221 221 221 222 222 222 0 0 0;
#P message 278 259 21 9109513 44.;
#P newex 206 345 119 9109513 if $i1 < $i2 then $i3 else 1.;
#P user hslider 340 165 18 128 128 1 0 0;
#P connect 5 0 6 1;
#P connect 5 0 1 1;
#P connect 4 0 1 0;
#P connect 4 0 6 0;
#P connect 4 0 2 0;
#P connect 7 0 1 2;
#P connect 1 0 3 0;
#P connect 0 0 4 0;
#P connect 2 0 5 0;
#P connect 6 0 7 0;
#P window clipboard copycount 8;


As you can see, I can only get an int at the output (1 or 0).

Is there something to specify somewhere for me to get a float?

Thanks for your help.
