> there is no risk of rounding errors when doing (int)(n1/n2). This is not quite true. Although both n1 and n2 can be represented exactly in a float, their quotient often cannot be. It is not even guaranteed that for floating-point arithmetic, 6.0/3.0==2.0 exactly. The floating-point answer may be 1.999...etc, which would round down to 1. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18223 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18223 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18223
