Hi

I have problems with floating point numbers. After the following
statement

double x = 0.75 * 0.1;
double z = 7.5 * 0.01;

x and z have the following values:

0.075000000000000011
0.074999999999999997

My compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ .Net. If I use the old Visual Studio
6.0 everything is ok and x and z have correct values:

0.075000000000000
0.075000000000000

Can anybody help?

Regards
Bruno
