So to reliably add 0.1 and 0.2 I need to convert them to ints? This must be a joke, its not adding anything complicated.
So is there a Flex wrapper for this? math.add(0.1, 0.2) ? How can we be sure that 2 numbers we just added equal the true sum? --- In [email protected], "kidl33t" <kidl...@...> wrote: > > I have encountered an odd bug.
