Re: [basex-talk] Facing Problem with Sum()

Hi Ankit, the problem is with float rounding ...

sum((<a>5923.17</a>,<a>5956.29</a>,<a>5989.28</a>)) = 17868.739999999998

gives true() on my machine. As usual with floats you should probably apply a rounding policy to compare for exact equality. Regards, Marco.

Hi,

I am trying to evaluate this expression, it is supposed to give TRUE but, it is giving false.

sum((<a>5923.17</a>,<a>5956.29</a>,<a>5989.28</a>)) = <a>17868.74</a>

But, for this expression it is giving as expected.

sum((<a>5922.78</a>,<a>-5955.78</a>,<a>5988.74</a>)) = <a>5955.74</a>

Thanks
