These are regular floating point numbers, and behave accordingly.

I have read some of the postings/faq about the difficulties with the round
function, when certain numbers do not have a finite representation in
binary, which SQLite uses. eg 9.95 is actually 9.9499...etc so that round(
9.95, 1) rounds down.
But, I have found several numbers which don't get rounded at all, and in
fact return more decimal places!
round(98926650.5, 1) -> 98926650.5000001
round(85227887.01, 1) -> 85227887.0000001
Even if these numbers cannot be represented properly in binary, why is it
they aren't rounded?
thanks for any assistance,
Serena

Hello,
With SQLite 3.3.13, this returns 98926650.5000001
Can you explain how I can get the expected rounding/truncation?
thanks.
