Gareth,

 

You have been politely told that this is not a bug, and it does occur on
every know programming language that I have ever used.

Now.... you show me in the Coldfusion Documentation where this is outlined
as a known issue?

Cheers
Gareth.

Doesn't really matter why... Maybe there's a gremlin that lives in the last
0.0000000000015 of every floating point number. Every now and then he will
wake up and mess up your number, and sometime's he'll stay asleep. Write
your code expecting he might pop round for a visit, and he won't bother you.

 

If you really want to find out why, then you'll need to do some pretty hard
core maths to work out how fractions are represented in binary. I prefer to
leave that to the geeks who work at Intel and AMD while I get on with my
work.
