QB64 Discussion / Math issue
« on: February 21, 2019, 06:47:46 pm »
Doing a simple subtraction is giving me a weird answer.
This is the line of code and the if condition is met.
IF ex = gx THEN ra = ABS(gy - ey): PRINT "1"; ra; gy; ey: GOTO 1150
The PRINT statement is only for debugging.
The variable values are gy 13.7926, ey 13.4951
doing the math manually ra = .2975
The answer I get from the program is ra = .2974997
What am I doing wrong here?
