hi there
been working with actionscript for a while, and got this very strange issue with adding numbers. Checkout this simple code:
var x:Number = 0;
var y:Number = 2.05;
for(var i=0;i<50;i++) {
x+=y;
trace(x);
}
and the output below:
2.05
4.1
6.15
8.2
10.25
12.3
14.35
16.4
18.45
20.5
22.55
24.6
26.65
28.7
30.75
32.8
34.85
36.9
38.95

43.05
45.1
47.15
49.2
51.25
53.3
55.35
57.4
59.45
61.5
63.55
65.6
67.65
69.7
71.75

75.85
77.8999999999999
79.9499999999999
81.9999999999999
84.0499999999999
86.0999999999999
88.1499999999999
90.1999999999999
92.2499999999999
94.2999999999999
96.3499999999999
98.3999999999999
100.45
102.5
this is giving me a serious headache! How is this possible? where do this 99999 values come from? Has anyone encounter this?
thanks in advance
