We need to compare the printable version of the last value displayed, not the floating point representation. Otherwise, we may print the last value twice.
Old: $ seq 1050000 1050000 1.05e+06 1.05e+06 New: $ seq 1050000 1050000 1.05e+06 We really need seq regression tests. I have a few that I will commit after this is in. - todd Index: usr.bin/seq/seq.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/usr.bin/seq/seq.c,v retrieving revision 1.6 diff -u -p -u -r1.6 seq.c --- usr.bin/seq/seq.c 25 Feb 2022 16:00:39 -0000 1.6 +++ usr.bin/seq/seq.c 12 Jun 2023 17:13:44 -0000 @@ -89,13 +89,13 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) double first = 1.0; double last = 0.0; double incr = 0.0; - double last_shown_value = 0.0; + double prev = 0.0; double cur, step; struct lconv *locale; char *fmt = NULL; const char *sep = "\n"; const char *term = "\n"; - char *cur_print, *last_print; + char *cur_print, *last_print, *prev_print; char pad = ZERO; if (pledge("stdio", NULL) == -1) @@ -181,29 +181,31 @@ main(int argc, char *argv[]) if (cur != first) fputs(sep, stdout); printf(fmt, cur); - last_shown_value = cur; + prev = cur; } /* * Did we miss the last value of the range in the loop above? * * We might have, so check if the printable version of the last - * computed value ('cur') and desired 'last' value are equal.
