Package: perl
Version: 5.6.1-8.8, v5.8.4-5
I was writing a small script, but happened something wired.
This is my script:
-----
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $z1=1;
my $z2=1;
while ($z2 < 3 )
{
$z1 = $z1 + 0.01;
if ($z1 > 7.11)
{
$z1 = 0.01;
$z2 = $z2 + 0.01;
print "z2= $z2\n";
}
}
-----
after I ran it i saw on the console folowing output (fragment)
<cut>
z2= 2.23
z2= 2.24
z2= 2.25
z2= 2.26
z2= 2.27
z2= 2.27999999999999
z2= 2.28999999999999
z2= 2.29999999999999
z2= 2.30999999999999
<cut>
z2= 2.70999999999999
z2= 2.71999999999999
z2= 2.72999999999999
z2= 2.73999999999999
z2= 2.74999999999998
z2= 2.75999999999998
z2= 2.76999999999998
z2= 2.77999999999998
<cut>
I have wondering about that for some time. I don't have idea what is
happening and way. In the middle of operation from z2 is substractet that
verry small value 0.00000000000001 or added 0.00999999999999 insteed of 0.01.
and I dont know why.
I've tested that script on 3 folowing machines:
