No, it's the result of more precise Float printing. Consider this: ((7/5) roundTo: 0.01) = 1.4 ==> false ((7/5) roundTo: 0.01) = 1.4000000000000001 ==> true For printing with a reduced precision you should not use roundTo but this: 7/5 printShowingDecimalPlaces: 2 ==> '1.40' 7/5 printShowingMaxDecimalPlaces: 2 ==> '1.4' - Bert - _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
