Perhaps this is really clumsy, but maybe this will help. If not, the

PM Subject: truncation of decimal places.
Hi,
I have a really simple question.I have two numbers
say $a = 1.559999
$b=1.5599999999
how do I compare them to exactly 6 decimals without doing a round off.I
used sprintf but it does a round off.
thank you.
