This does not happen on my machine. Can you give more details about your setup?
To be clear, 1/1 is a floating point number, which means that the whole idea of doing == is dangerous. A safer comparison is the distance between the values. I get the following: julia> abs(44100.0 - 44099.0 * (1/1)) 1.0 -- John On Nov 19, 2014, at 7:47 PM, Intrinsic Audio <[email protected]> wrote: > I've found an interesting issue in Julia that, though it seems trivial in the > application I've given, is really messing up my code and my ability to > guarantee its performance. > > Apparently, 44099 * (1/1) == 44100, which in my book is a very massive error. > > I wrote a resample() function for the project I'm working on, and I found > that rounding errors in Julia have made the language unacceptable to my > superiors.
