Hi everyone,
a student recently encountered the following behavior:
fraction := 5 / 9. (fraction* 100) truncateTo: 0.01. “55.550000000000004" fraction:= 1/18. (fraction * 100) roundTo: 0.01. “5.5600000000000005"
This is not what I would expect from #truncateTo: or #roundTo: even when using Floats (especially roundTo:).
Is this what we want or an open issue? I have not found any test covering the protocol.
