Depends on how you define "monotonically increasing". Interpreted character-by-character as a string, 2.10 sorts before 2.2 Interpreted as a floating point number, 2.10 sorts before 2.2 It is only monotonically increasing if you interpret it as two integers separated by a dot. Humans can interpret it any way they want, but how do programs interpret it? -- John Kasunich [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
