It's surely false ('cause 283.67-150.00-133.67 it' equal to 0)

Can u confirm this?
What's the matter? Why this strange behavior?
You might think that it equals zero, but it doesn't. Try this test:
set the numberformat to "#.00000000000000000"
put 283.67-150.00-133.67
you get 0.00000000000002842
I'm guessing it's something to do with the limitations of 32 bit
arithmetic.
Ah, the age-old question left unanswered by the designers of microchip
instruction sets:
Do machines serve human or do humans serve machines?
