As you don't say what your results were who knows?From: Yago Alvarado <Yago.Alvarado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: "'XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'" <XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Magic numbers Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 12:54:49 -0000 My guess is you got 7.00000000000000001 or 6.9999999999999. This is because binary representation of some decimals using standard techniques is impossibe, similarly to expressing one third in decimal. You either have to use integer arithmetic, in this case '100 * 7 div 100' or round your answers. Joe (MVP - xml) _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
