Re: Really basic problem

You can use Python's decimal class if floating point arithmetic is not
exact enough

import decimal
status = decimal.Decimal( 0 )
for i in range(10):
status += decimal.Decimal( "0.1" )
if status == decimal.Decimal( "0.1" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.2" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.3" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.4" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.5" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.6" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.7" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.8" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "0.9" ):
print status
elif status == decimal.Decimal( "1.0" ):
print status
else:
print "status not equal -->", status
