0th law of computer science:
NEVER use == on floats; it simply doesn't work as expected.
In most cases a value cannot be exactly represented as a float
variable; so MOST comparisons for equality WILL fail.
(this is NOT an issue of legOS, it holds true for any language,
compiler, runtime, processor, ...)
(you may compare to 0 (zero); 0 is exactly represented as float)
