I am trying to calculate coordinate transformations and in the process of
debugging my code using debug I found the following

This is what happens with floating point number and you are only
printing out 7 digits of precision; look at the results
cos(-1.570796)
[1] 0.003267949
cos(-1.5707961) # just incrementing the digit that was not displayed
[1] 0.002267949
cos(-1.5707962)
[1] 0.001267949
