[REBOL] Re: strange results with decimal!

Hi Joel,
thanks for your reply. If devision or multiplication is involvolved i could
follow your samples. Perhaps i should be more detailed, as i am only using
addition and substraction.
File sheme:
15888;some text;1.000,50;1.000,50;some text
15889;some text;50,49;50,48;some text
As the first line contains german values, i have to parse out the "." and
the convert the field to a decimal like 1.000,50 to 1000,50.
After that i add the values to a sum with a foreach loop. the result is:
sum-a: 1050,99
sum-b: 1050,98
Now i want the difference to be displayed.
print sum-a - sum-b
The result is, even with this example, "9.99999999999091E-3" instead of
0,01.
If you just type in the lines with the sums and the print statement you can
follow the example.
Is that the same problem as you described?
Thorsten
