Dennis, FullForm[(1.65 - 1.3)/0.007] 49.999999999999986` FullForm[(1.65 - 1.3)/0.007] 50.` Does that solve the puzzle? David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Dennis de Lang [mailto:lang.NO at science.uva.nl] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Why does the following happen? In[1]:= (1.65 - 1.3)/0.007 Out[1]:= 50. In[2]:= IntegerPart[%] Out[2]:= 49 but: In[1]:= 0.35/0.007 Out[1]:= 50. In[2]:= IntegerPart[%] Out[2]:= 50 I'm puzzled.... - Dennis
