Hey all!
This is really more of a tcl question, but I'm hoping that someone on
the list might have an explanation. Why does [format %.2f 18.005] round
down to "18.00" and [format %.2f 1.415] round up to "1.42"? Any
guesses? Am I missing something obvious here?
Tcl version 8.4, if it matters.
Thanks!

Set tcl_precision to 17 to see the fullest expansion of the value that
tcl will work with.
% set tcl_precision 17
17
% expr 18.005
18.004999999999999
% expr 1.415
1.415
%
The rounding I think is obvious at that point.
