Re^2: printf rounding issue

I am doing same thing as mentioned in the thread .

$val =  $val * 100  ;
$val = $val / 100;
[download]

This is the reason I am getting correct value when I am printing on screen with print . My issue is why I am getting different values when I am using print and printf . Also what is the solution to print value correctly in FILE .
