From: Daniel Bretoi Date: 2002-09-14T02:54:56+09:00 Subject: float precision Sorry if this has been answered before. I'll demonstrate my question with irb. irb(main):001:0> a = 20020912.194220 20020912.19 Why do I miss the last 5 digits when I try to assign a? I tried using Bignum, but I could use some syntax help. note on documentation: I love the programmers guide, but I really cherish some exampels for class defenitions etc on how to use a class. db -- You don't exist, go away!
