I'm using which to find the position of a value in my data table

For example, when I do:
where1<-which(Operons==3573.1,arr.ind=TRUE)
it returns the position of that number and of 3573.15.
This doesn't seem like the same issue as the FAQ.
If there are really two elements in the array, one of
which is 3573.1 and the other of which is 3573.15, they
should not be treated as equal. Something else is going on.
Could the original poster please send a small reproducible
example?
Yes, the more I look at it, the more I agree. I just reacted when I saw
x == 3573.1 ...
It would be nice to see a reproducible example!
