I know the result is surprising, but it follows logically. You have
created two integers in memory, and now you add 0.2 and 0.1 to both --
not enough to flip them over to the next value. The equivalent in C
is roughly:
#include <stdio.h>
int
main()
{
int i;
int x[2] = {1,3};
x[0] += 0.2;
x[1] += 0.1;
printf("[%d %d]\n", x[0], x[1]);
}
Which results in the same answer.
