BASIC glitches

Hello, All! The other day I wanted to do a little program on bass with the evil ones mathematical calculations and found a very unpleasant a glitch that ruins everything for me. :( so I want to share with you. the thing is this: let’s say the variable a = 10.000000501 you do PRINT a, it gives exactly 10 and if a=10.000000502 it produces 10.000001 and if more than 9.9999999, then the print also gives exactly 10. but to hell with it. Next comes the cooler stuff. I write a line IF а=10 THEN STOP and this check only works in the aisles if a>=10 and a<10.00000001 ok if he cut the fraction evenly when checking and when printing. otherwise you type PRINT and it gives exactly 10 and if you type IF a=10 THEN STOP it works like crazy. Maybe there is some way to cut off fractional numbers at least up to six characters? And in general, what do you think about this subject? Best regards, Fedy Savin/Discovery

This is IMHO the features of the calculator and the presentation of numbers. If I'm not mistaken, the calculator has some number of errors. It is quite possible that the command "convert packed A 5-byte (or 4???) number in ASCII form" truncates the number. Well, all sorts of comparisons work directly with numbers, so and it turns out like this. Any calculator has a limit of accuracy. IMHO you just married him :))))))) FS> Maybe there is some way to cut off fractional numbers FS> at least up to six characters? standard method: a = (int (x * 1000)) / 1000 We round this up to 3 digits. By analogy, you can round up to 6 :))))) Only if your whole part is large, then glitches are possible!!! In the sense that you will get the error “the number is too large” FS> And in general, what do you think about this subject? There is a glitch, it cannot help but exist! :) True, I caught such jokes on the PC :))))) Alexand
