Dear R programmers,
is there a sensible explanation for the following behaviour? The second command seems not to be interpreted correctly.
seq(0.6, 0.9, by=0.1) == 0.8
[1] FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE
seq(0.7, 0.9, by=0.1) == 0.8
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE
c(0.7, 0.8, 0.9) == 0.8
[1] FALSE TRUE FALSE
seq(0.9, 0.7, by=-0.1) == 0.8
[1] FALSE TRUE FALSE
I am running R version 1.7.1 on XP and NT.
Thanks, Marc

It is correct, just an instability of the representation of that floating point number, because (regularly) floating point numbers cannot be represented exactly.
