If I have a floating point value, say, 25.81 and want to separate the first two places beyond the decimal point (.81) from 25.81, I thought simple subtration would work, but it seems floating points are even less accurate in Flash than I thought. I know the are imprecise, but are they really this bad?
so: var a = 25.81 var b = Math.floor(a) var c = a-b var d = (Math.round((a-b)*100))*.01 trace(a) //25.81 as expected trace(b) //25 as expected trace(c) //returns 0.80999... trace(d) //returns 0.81 - what I want and expect Is my last method for var "d" the most pratical, precise, and readable way to get 0.81 from 25.81?
