Thanks, I get the money thing but this is price as used in calculating odds in betting. Price is an idealised value, not monetary (no accountants involved :)) The calculation needs to be reliable. Given a set of inputs is should return the same outputs. In this situation we have code changing it's outputs depending on which version of Ruby is running it I'm glad that it is just round that has been affected and that it was a conscious decision but I have some not inconsiderable blobs of maths for pricing (in betting) and libraries that are used to support it I can grep for round but the thought that I couldn't trust any number based function is truly terrifying Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-talk>
