[cfaussie] Re: Strange calculation behavior on CF 7.02

I think your missing the point Andrew... Coldfusion is not strongly typed, so one would assume that a simple calculation between a integer and a decimal would come back correctly.

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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
