Package: wcalc
Version: 2.4-1
Severity: normal
wcalc seems handy and I'd like to rely on it in
shell scripts.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that it returns the
wrong answer when
1.) The "-EE" and "-P0" options are used, and
2.) a decimal number, like 0.5, is subtracted by
an integer number, like 8.
I can duplicate the bug by typing the following at
the shell prompt:
$ echo 8 - 0.1 | wcalc -EE -P0
It returns
= 80
but it seems to me that it should return
= 8
Thanks,
Kingsley
