I've been making use of floating point for the first time on the HB and
am having problems. The following program demonstrates the kinds of
bugs I've been encountering:
----(cut here)-----------------------------------
int
main()
{
float a;
float b;
float c;
/*
This program prints out the proper values for
"a" and "b", but prints "c" to be ".1250034"
rather than something closer to "0.25" as expected.
*/
a = 1.570796;
b = 6.2831;
c = a/b;
printf("%f %f %f\n", a, b, c);
}
----(cut here)-----------------------------------
I would appreciate hearing if others can duplicate this bug. I'm using
the standard "free" IC off of the "ic2853r2.zip" file.
Thanks for your help,
Rick
