While I agree float is not exact I'm not sure what is being calculated needs exact precision. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Bennett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 8, 2012 8:37:49 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [fun] unsigned int is not big enough (was: lfs-chat Digest, Vol 1288, Issue 1) Hi, > Use unsigned long long or float. float is not exact. (un)signed long long is the one to use. Avoid floating point arithmetic: stick to integer or fixed point. You still have to be careful with rounding when you divide. ;-) Regards, @ndy -- [email protected] http://www.ashurst.eu.org/ 0x7EBA75FF -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
