Bug #984 Updated: round() works bad

ID: 984 Updated by: zeev Reported By: segi@active.ch Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Assigned To: Comments: This has to do with the fact that floating point numbers have limited accuracy. 0.5 is never represented as 0.5000000... with zeros all the way to infinity, but usually as something like 0.49999999999999999998 1.5 may be represented as 1.50000000000002, etc. Simply, you cannot rely on 0.5 being accurate, and thus the behavir of round() can be considered undefined.
