Ya know.since CF is a type-less language, wouldn't It make more sense to use Java's math class to do these kind of computations?

Simply plugging the two values into variables did not fix the issue with "IS" or "EQ". It seems that CF has extra data tied to summation and applying any basic function to the result will remove it. I got it working simply wrapping the variables with the trim function, even though both their lengths were 9. Very strange. Thanks, Will <cfset var1 = 107407.40+12345.68+3703.70> <cfset var2 = 123456.78> <cfif var1 IS var2>EQUAL<cfelse>NOT EQUAL</cfif> //NEQ <cfif var1 EQ var2>EQUAL<cfelse>NOT EQUAL</cfif> //NEQ #len(var1)# = #len(var2)#? // 9 = 9? #isNumeric(var1)# = #isNumeric(var2)#? // YES = YES? <cfif trim(var1) EQ trim(var2)>EQUAL<cfelse>NOT EQUAL</cfif> // EQUAL, this works On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 10:47 AM, Kier Simmons <[email protected]> wrote: I've duplicated his problem and tried all the various symantic changes. It is still there. I'm thinking it is in how the variant is defined. I'm going to try predefining the variables used first.

Angeli Wahlstedt, IdeaSculpt LLC From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brett Roderick Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 10:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [houcfug] decimal math issues I seem to run into ColdFusion math problems with decimal numbers from time to time. For example, I would expect the following to return EQUAL but instead it returns NOT EQUAL (on CF 8.0.1): <cfif 107407.40+12345.68+3703.70 IS 123456.78>EQUAL<cfelse>NOT EQUAL</cfif> I've fixed problems like this in the past with this: round(x*100)/100 I don't have confidence that will always work. Is there a better way to deal with this? I'm not looking forward to putting something like that in everywhere we do any computations with decimal numbers.
