Hi, I am using MonoDevelop 5.10 and the runtime Mono 4.2.3 (Stable 4.2.3.4/832de4b Wed Mar 16 13:19:08 UTC 20 in a Mint17 (64bit) environment.
I am compiling the following code into .Net 4/4.5 and hence I believe I am using dmcs version 4.2.3.0 A friend posts me the following piece of code: public void Test() { float delta = 0.1f + 0.2f - 0.3f; Console.WriteLine( "Delta is {0}", delta ); } Since this is a floating point operation I do not expect that delta to be absolutely zero. But I don't expect a number like this -7.450581E-09. A similar test in C produces an absolute 0 even when it does not involve static expression. Any comment or explanation?
