in thread Padding with sprintf changing number
When I run that script, I get:use strict; use warnings; my $amt = 4887.15; print " Checking amnt before conversion $amt,\n"; $amt= sprintf("%.2f",$amt); print " Checking amnt after rounding $amt,\n"; $amt = $amt*100; print " Checking amnt after conversion $amt,\n"; printf "Checking the EXACT value of amnt: %.17g\n", $amt; amnt($amt); sub amnt { my $amount=$_[0]; $amount=int($amount); print "$amount i m checking amount before padding,\n"; #my $padamnt = sprintf("%016.0f",$amount);---> currently commented to +check integer effect. my $padamnt = sprintf("%016d",$amount); print "$padamnt i m checking amount after padding,\n"; return $padamnt; }
Note that I've added a line of code that demonstrates that the EXACT value of $amt is NOT 488715.Checking amnt before conversion 4887.15, Checking amnt after rounding 4887.15, Checking amnt after conversion 488715, Checking the EXACT value of amnt: 488714.99999999994 488714 i m checking amount before padding, 0000000000488714 i m checking amount after padding,
$ python3 -c "print(4887.15 * 100)" 488714.99999999994 $ raku -e "say 4887.15e0 * 100" 488714.99999999994
