Re: [flexcoders] why is trace(1+0.9+0.7+0.3) = 2.8999999999999995

I could swear there was a thread on this precision issue that Gordon
Smith answered and it did have to do with the trace function.

Search the archives, I bet you will find it.

Hi All,

   I was working with number recently and noticed this
weird behaviour trace(1+0.9+0.7+0.3) returns
2.8999999999999995;
   Did anyone else ever seen such thing? Is it a bug?
