Re: Odd results from mixing integer and floating point math?

Could you post the exact code, please? It's a bit unclear why you end up with a result of 1451.98726786648 while your formulate indicates a simple $d - $e. In short, or 1451.98726786648 is a typo or $f = $d - $e is...

Aie! Sometimes you just need someone else to say what you should already know. The result is so ridiculous that, yes, of course, it's a typo in the script. Had inadvertently subtracted $e from the wrong variable. That's what I get for coding on Sundays. Thanks. Forget that fear of gravity, Get a little savagery in your life.	[reply]

Umm... no, because `use strict;` does not catch logic errors of this sort (or any sort, afaik).	[reply]
