Remember the Pentium (II iirc) Math error and the Brouhaha it
caused? Well I am getting some "errors" using Apple's Calculator in
10.2. Granted these are floating point errors, but still 580.15 +
35.3 should equal 615.45 not 615.4499999999.
Anyone else see these errors?
not present in 10.4.2 calculator, v4.0 (2005), it adds the above as
expected.
B
Calculator 3.0 on 10.2.8 gave me 615.45, too.
My calculator, v. 3.2.1 under OS 10.3.9 also shows 615.45.
All the best,
