Jack,

This is normal behavior when using floats and is to be expected.
An alternative would be to use decimal.js.


Hi John, thanks for your response! I would say, in light of my above-cited
conversation with Dr. Kahan, lo, these 23 years ago, that it may be
"normal" but perhaps it should not be "normative".

On a lighter note, I remember the joke circulating the halls of IBM back
when the infamous Pentium bug emerged in 1995.

*An Intel design engineer walks into a bar and orders a drink.*

*"That'll be $5," says the barkeep.*

*The Intel engineer plunks down a fiver and smiles and says, "Keep the
change."*
