PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Decrement Operator
I believe there is a problem with the decrement operator.
http://www.artemisgroup.com/test.php
$percentchange = .30;
while ($percentchange > -1){
$percentchange -= .01;
echo $percentchange;
}
zero is returned as -1.422473250301E-16 and 0.01 is returned as 0.0099999999999999. This seems
incorrect to me.
Thanks
