Thanks to everyone who suggested solutions to the decimal code. I really like the one by Ric Sherlock which goes: 1|5.01 0.0099999999999997868 1|5.1 0.099999999999999645 1|5.2 0.20000000000000018
Hahahah. I still have that print precision thingy on my laptop though but its fixed now on the client so I'm happy. :) r/Alex -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Björn Helgason Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 4:41 AM To: Programming forum Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Getting the decimal values /home/bjorn/j602/help/dictionary/d230.htm res=: [email protected]"0 agenda=: ([ = 0:) +.
