Message: [QUOTE="Markus, post: 4446147"] ~/eg/ruby > ruby truncate.rb | 134.4 | 134.4 But this is truncate, not round. My internal jury is still out. Since 0.1 (base ten) in binary is a repeating decimal (binimal?), there has to be some rounding assumptions made somewhere. By their very nature, such assumptions can't always be right...but one might hope that they were never wrong in a case one cared about. I'll think more about it, but may not come to any conclusions before my one-week-in-Costa-Rica-with-no-internet. -- Markus [/QUOTE]
