Hi B, You should read these: https://floating-point-gui.de/ https://www.volkerschatz.com/science/float.html https://randomascii.wordpress.com/category/floating-point/ https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html There's a lot of information to digest, but until you understand it, you can't understand why numeric calculations behave as they do, or tell the difference between a bug and an unavoidable result. -- Steve
