Hi,
In the course of the simulation's that I run, I sometimes get numbers
that look
like 0 but don't behave like 0 in certain contexts. Here's a typical
example,...
In[3]:= x
4
Out[3]= 0. x 10
In[4]:= currentMinima
4
Out[4]= 2.075 x 10
In[5]:= 5 > x
Out[5]= True
In[6]:= x > 5
Out[6]= False
In[7]:= 5 > currentMinima
Out[7]= False
In[8]:= currentMinima > 5
Out[8]= True
In[9]:= currentMinima > x
Out[9]= False
In[10]:= x > currentMinima
Out[10]= False
Can anyone explain to me why the second to last result is not True?
I have the DumpSave file with the binary values of 'x' and
currentMinima if anyone wants to take a closer look.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
terry
