Even just this simple line produces the same error: answer trunc((36-34.2)*100)
This is odd... Look at the results I get when testing this: Trunc((36-34.1)*100) should = 190, but returns 189 Trunc((36-34.2)*100) should = 180, but returns 179 Trunc((36-34.3)*100) should = 170, and in fact does return 170 Trunc((36-34.4)*100) should = 160, and in fact does return 160 Trunc((1.8)*100) returns 180, like it should Trunc((1.9)*100) returns 190, like it should So... Somehow, Rev is performing 36-34.2, and even though it displays that number as 1.8, it must be processing it internally as 1.799999999999999999999999999 or something like that. Very disturbing - This could affect a program of mine. It is easily worked around, with a function like this: function trueTrunc pNumber set the itemdelimiter to "." return item 1 of pNumber end trueTrunc But still, trunc should work properly. That makes me wonder if any other math functions might have some underlying weirdness. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lynch, Jonathan Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 9:13 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: RE: Strange math behaviour... could someone explain this ? I get the same thing... That's gotta be a bug. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jbv Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 7:17 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Strange math behaviour... could someone explain this ? Hi list, example 1 : put 1.8 into myA put trunc(myA * 100) into myA in that case, myA=180 which is OK ------------------ example 2 : put 34.2 into myA put 36 into myT if myA > 0 then if myA < myT then get myA put myT - myA into myA put it into myT else put 0 into myA end if end if put trunc(myA * 100) into myA in that case, myA=179 ?????????????????????
