hi
whts the point in adding this double variable and i want to know when
and why this error" Floating point formats are not linked" usually
comes.
It seems to be a bug in the Borland compiler. I've encountered it a number
of times in the past. Adding the double seems to kick the compiler into
noticing that linking in the math library would be a good plan.
Clearly, adding the double should not be necessary.
Borland has had this bug for a million years or so. It's a great shame,
because the first rule of debugging is "it's my fault - don't blame the
compiler - it's my fault - don't blame the compiler..." but this does
appear to be an exception that can occur all too frequently. Borland also
seems to have an issue with errno, by the way, so watch out for that.
