Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ron Frye (rrfsf01) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: round() producing -0.0 Initial Comment: python 2.2 on AIX 4.3 produces: >>> round(-0.0001, 1) 0.0 >>> python 2.4.1 on Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3 produces: >>> round(-0.0001, 1) -0.0 >>> round(-0.0001, 1) == 0.0 True >>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2006-10-05 13:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Since 0.0 == -0.0, the result in not wrong. The underlying C math library dictates whether signed zeroes are used, so round(-0.0001, 1) returns the same result as math.ceil(-0.0001 * 10). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1571620&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
