Knowledge of arithmetic would seem to be the sort of thing one would expect in a financial "expert". :-)

Although to be fair, this does crop up about once a quarter in the forum as a new person discovers one of the hidden joys of using a computer that does not have 10 fingers to work with.

I have worked on some systems where the front end gave one figure, but the
back end reporting function gave another because this wasn't properly
addressed..

As a financial application developer, it's surprising you weren't already
aware of the inaccuracy of floating point.

Hi,

I'm kind of disapointed :
trace (1.3-1) // traces:0.3
but :
trace (9.3-9) // traces: 0.300000000000001
trace (100.3-100) //traces: 0.299999999999997
...
is there a way that it can traces always 0.3 has it should be normal ?

thx

N.
