In VB, 12.8 + 0.576 doesn;t equal 13.376

date posted 22nd January 2002 16:43

I'm using VB 6.0 SP 5

I'm debugging some code and have found that if you type: -

? (12.8 + 0.576) = 13.376

into the immediate window you get 'False'.

If you calculate (12.8 + 0.576) - 13.376 you get 1.22...E-15

If you convert the numbers to singles it works OK.

Anyone know of a fix?

Cheers,

Pete
