All,
I'm getting this:
sprintf(%.17f, 0.8)
[1] 0.80004
Where does the `4` at the end come from? Shouldn't it be zero at the
end? Maybe I'm missing something.
sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25)
Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit)
locale:
[1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8

Hi,
First, please start a new thread when

As for your question, see FAQ 7.31. This is standard floating point numerical
limitations at work.
