JRS: In article <C7******************@monger.newsread.com>, seen in
news:comp.lang.javascript, Christoph <jc*****@yahoo.com> posted at Tue,
11 Nov 2003 21:02:26 :-
alert( 100 * 1.15 );
The above *should* show a value of 115. However, what I
am actually getting is:
114.99999999999998
...
One should always seek to read a newsgroup's FAQ before posting; it
saves everybody a lot of trouble, the putative poster included. This is
item 4.7 in ours.
But read the whole FAQ, to avoid future problems; it points out,
moreover, that comp.lang.java groups should not be used for javascript.
In fact, AIUI, c.l.j.j has no legitimate existence. FU set.
When questions in the FAQ are asked, the FAQ should be cited in answers
even if it is felt that more explanation should be given in the case in
question.
