Got a perl question for y'all. I rarely have to do anything with perl, and I'm sure perl has a good reason for behaving like the following, but heck if I can figure it out.
The perl cookbook suggestions using sprintf for rounding floats. This seemingly works fine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'print sprintf( "%.2f\n", 0.562 )' 0.56 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: perl -e 'print sprintf( "%.2f\n", 0.567 )' 0.57 However, I'm extremely confused by the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ perl -e 'print sprintf( "%.2f\n", 0.565 )' 0.56 Can anybody explain why this is not rounding up? Thanks in advance... -- We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you have missed the point.
