Hi everyone,

Just doing some basic programming for maths, and something really
weird happened.  I'm using RHIDE 1.4.9 w/ djgpp 2.03.  I have this
line in my
program:

  const double stepSize;
  stepSize = 0.1;

when i step through the program and watch the variable step size, when
it
is assigned the value of 0.1, in the watch window it says the value is
0.10000000000000001.  I don't think it has something to do with the 
displaying of the number, because when I store the result of
1/stepSize
into an integer variable, the value of that variable is 9 (when it
should be
10) Does anyone know where the last digit came from?

Cheers

Taras
