This is getting absurd. .99 + .99 does not equal 2. I'm a programmer. Science and scientific proof are as real to me as the air. Handle it.

Been there, done that for 30+ years. Science has nothing to do with it. Learning obscure rules and following them does.

If you were really a programmer, you'd know that .99 + .99 sometimes does "equal" 2.

Put this little line in your C program and smoke it:

printf("%3.0f\n", .99 + .99);
