I am putting the code:: i am using following function to figure out range of a variable.. $range_data= find_range($max_data,$min_data,$step_data); I am passing the max value, min value and resolution. The function would return the range. the function definition is:: 
sub find_range
    {
        my $max=$_[0];
        my $min=$_[1];
        my $step=$_[2];
        my @step_part;
        my $range;
        $range=($max-$min)/($step_real);
        return($range);
    }

now when I do: $range_int= int($range_data); and try to print range_data and range_int i get different values.specifically 65535 becomes 65534 and 255 becomes 254. Also I know range_data is 65535 and not 65534.99 . Can anyone help me.
