Re: finding the correct integer

in reply to finding the correct integer

Using int will truncate so if the result, due to the inexact way a computer will represent 0.0001, is, say, 6504.9999997 it will end up as 6504. This seems to work.

johngg@abouriou:~/perl/Monks$ perl -E 'say 0.6505 / 0.0001;'
6505
