Please consider this code:
----------
Dim i As Decimal
Dim p As Decimal = 31D
i = (2D ^ (p - 1D)) * (2D ^ p - 1D)
----------
Variable "i" should be equal to "23058430081399 52128" but, for some reason,
variable "i" becomes "23058430081399 50000".
Am I doing something wrong, am I missing something or is this a bug? 2 1264

Another reason why Option Strict should always be On. You can enable it in
the project properties (General -> Build: Option Strict [On].
After switching it on, split your calculations into multiple steps to follow
the calculation of the final value.

xfx,
Are you using VS 2003 or VS 2005?
You might consider using a Shift operator instead of the Exponentiation
operator. Something like:
Dim i As Long
Dim p As Integer = 31
i = (1L << (p - 1)) * ((1L << p) - 1)
Remember the Exponentiation operator is defined for type Double only. So
although your operands are all Decimal, they are being implicitly being
converted to & from Double for the expression.
Hope this helps
Jay

Hi,
I am facing a problem using the DBLIBRARY API dbconvert().
When dbconvert() is used to convert a MS SQL Server MONEY data type to
DECIMAL and then to STRING, the scale is getting lost.
eg. 41.98 returns 41.97999
123456789123456.98 returns 123456789123456.97000
The code snippet in VC++ is given as follows:

I have a section of code that adds some double values and gives an incorrect

double c = 0.001;

I think the VB .NET parameter has incorrect automatic argument when it
comes to DECIMAL. That is, precision is never set.
Example:
CREATE a TABLE with a DECIMAL in it.
Start a VB Project Windows Application.
Project=>Add Reference=>IBM.data.db2.dll
Open the IBM Explorer
Setup a DB connection.

Decimal a = 42.485M;
Decimal b = 48M;
Decimal c = a / b;
Console.WriteLine(c.ToString());
gives the result 0.8851041666666666666666666667
The correct, exact answer is .885.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
