The code is very simple(it is not that much more complicated in the real
processing, but wanted to see if it failed in this case), but I don't understand why
the Unix is not rounding as I would expect. All the machines tested were under 5.8.3.
$_ = 11700;
printf "%6d %7.1f %7.2f\n", $_, ( $_/3600), ( $_/3600);
It displays:
11700 3.2 3.25 on Unix
11700 3.3 3.25 on Windows
Does the Unix always truncate or am I missing something? I am in the process
of moving from w2k to Unix and I had another script which was having this problem and
ended up writing a small routine for the script to make sure everyone was in sync. Is
there a trick I am missing or is this life as we know it?
Any questions and/or problems, please let me know.
Thanks.
Wags ;)
