Float precision

[FordPeterson]

I beg your patience. I'm new to MikroBasic and I am trying to figure out why this happens...

dim field1 as float
dim field2 as float

dim txt1 as char(25)
dim txt2 as char(25)

field1 = 146.400
field2 = 0.600

FloatToStr(field1,txt1)
FloatToStr(field2+field1,txt2)

Sending txt1 and txt2 to the LCD it comes out as 146.39999 for txt1 and 146.99998 as txt2.

It appears that each variable slips a digit so the sum is off by 2. Can somebody explain this phenomena?

Thanks

Ford

Hi!

I can confirm that this is not the bug in the FloatToStr routine but a normal behavior when
working with floats.
