Both the second and third column : have the same computation, except that in one of the x^2 function is inlined : and in the other it is called through a function. In either case, you get : exactly the same value. What is the objection? What is surprising is that all the columns are not zero! The original poster was offering some speculations as to how that might have happened, but as you say (and I think he'd agree) it doesn't wash. I ran his posted code and got all zeroes. Either there's a *serious* problem with his compiler, or the posted code is not the same as what he compiled. Either way, he should try to pin down the cause of the trouble with more print statements, etc... -- Russell Blackadar, russell AT mdli DOT com
