I am writing a program to parse a CSV file downloaded from my bank. I have it keep a running balance, but I'm getting a weird total. Apparently, -457.16 + 460.93 = 3.76999999999998. But when 20 is subtracted from that, I get -16.23. There are no weird numbers like that in my input data. All numbers have no more than 2 numbers after the decimal point. Here is my code:
Those numbers are correct -457 + 460 does = 3.
It sounds like you're saying you shouldn't have negative numbers in there. or what do you mean by weird. Is it because perl is returning more that 2 digits as the remainder.
