Re: Bug in GHC6.10.1?

2008-11-14 Thread José Pedro Correia
Hello I was wondering if there is a bug in GHC 6.10.1 regarding number precision. As an example, in GHCi with: > 3.0 * 0.2 I get: 0.6001 Although: > 2.0 * 0.2 0.4 I have GHC 6.10.1 on Mac OS X 10.5. Is this a known bug or should I report it? Best regards Zé Pedro

Hi, Floating point numbers are just inaccurate, so the results you see aren't too surprisingly. Interestingly enough, using Hugs, I get the right answer in both cases - so its possible it's a bug, but unlikely. If you do want exact floating point manipulation then use rational numbers instead
