The concern of Tim Shaw and others on trouble in rounding floating point numbers seems misplaced. I
am not persuaded that money is better represented with integers than with floats.
Why round? Keep all your precision, even fractions of a cent. Formatting your output is what
printf() is for. (See sprintf() Example #8.) Problem solved? No problem to begin with.
