I think I may have found a floating point error in javascript. If you make a web
page like this.
<html>
<head>
<title>Fallo en Javascript</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
<!--
var n;
n=35;
n*=0.01;
document.writeln("35*0.01 es "+n+"<br>");
n2=0.35;
document.writeln("0.35 es "+n2+"<br>");
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
The result is:
35*0.01 es 0.35000000000000003
0.35 es 0.35
Can you explaint it?
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. User this script:
<html>
<head>
<title>Fallo en Javascript</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
<!--
var n;
n=35;
n*=0.01;
document.writeln("35*0.01 es "+n+"<br>");
n2=0.35;
document.writeln("0.35 es "+n2+"<br>");
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
2. See the result:
35*0.01 es 0.35000000000000003
0.35 es 0.35
3. Is it wrong?
Actual Results:
I suppose that is a floating point error.
My computer is a Pentium 4 (R) 2.40 GHz
