Which version of MarkLogic are you running exactly? I am running 6.0-1.1 on
win7 and get (72, 72, 72) as response..



Kind regards,

Geert

In my Mathematical mind, the following expression:



(180 div 2.5, 180 div xs:float(2.5), 180 div xs:double(2.5))



should yeild:



(72, 72, 72)



as the correct answer, mathematically speaking, is 72.



MarkLogic 6 seems to think it is:



(71.99999999999999601, 72, 72)



which leads me to believe this is a xs:decimal issue.
