[Binari] stupid computer
by Sofie Van Landeghem 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Even though I'm fully aware of these issues using computers, it continues to amase me... ;-) for (double cutoff = 0.0; cutoff <= 1.0; cutoff += 0.05) results in these values for "cutoff": 0.0 0.05 0.1 0.15000000000000002 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 0.39999999999999997 0.44999999999999996 etc. Not ending with 1.0, as you'd hope, but with 0.9500000000000003 (right, I know, take an int as loop variable and calculate the double inside the loop, but still ;-)) Sofie

I am of course delighted and honoured and, needless to say, flabbergasted." -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
