Message-ID: <383f6dbb.22609744@news.tstonramp.com> (raw)
does anyone know why mutiplication between fixed type in ada produce a
big round off error?
type money is delta 0.01 range 0.0..100_000_000.00;
a, b, c : money;
package money_io is new ada.text_io.fixed_io(money);
a := 351.00;
b := 0.20;
c := a * b;
money_io.put(c);
-- the output should be 70.2 but it prints 71.3 instead.
-- this is so frustrating. typecasting (back to float) doesn't help
either.
Thanks,
Nap
