Simple calculation error

[Francois Liot]

Dear all,

 

I observed a strange calculation answer, on both python 2.3.4 and 2.4.4

 

>>> print 753343.44 - 753361.89

-18.4500000001

>>> print ( (753361.89*100) - (753343.44*100) ) / 100

18.45

 

Can somebody help me to play correctly with decimal values?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Francois Liot
