Update of bug #51952 (project octave): Status: None => Invalid Open/Closed: Open => Closed _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: You cannot expect it in floating point arithmetic. Even the simpler (1/49)*49-1 does not give exactly 0. Please, look for "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic" _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51952> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
