72 / 2000 = .036, it does not equal .0359999999999999 like the examples have implied. .036 * 750 is 27.0, again, not 26.99999999.
In decimal. In binary, .036 is not representable exactly (that's true of most "round" decimal values). This is pretty standard floating point arithmetic stuff. <insert obligitory mention of how some of us "cut our teeth" on this stuff *ahem* many years ago and how they probably don't cover it anymore (:-)> Craig _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
