Thank you for the report. This is now fixed (specifically, the Num version now gives "Same" as there's not enough precision available to represent those Rats as different numbers) Fix: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/a760ac3cfc6426d9bd2fb00db https://github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/commit/b735866ddee9bd719440e5c82 Test: https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/db0c58b5f763b085e On Fri, 20 Oct 2017 17:44:40 -0700, c...@zoffix.com wrote: > This appears to be not a bug but simply the goodness of floating point > math. I get the same result in C: You're wrong, 2017-Zoffix. The result you got in C is because you incorrectly used doubles to do the division.
