I found it once when using the calculator, when you call one of the math
functions from the drop down selector on the right side, the answer is off
by .00000000001 or something like that, but I forgot which one, so I never
fixed it. I normal do not see it, infact, I even used the calculator on a
test onec and got a pretty good grade in the class, so I know most
everything has to be correct. I think it has something to do with moving a
float to an int and back to a float, but I am not sure. Must be one of the
functions which is a native int return, but I type cast it to a float and
screw it up along the way. Like I said, it is in only one place, so you
probably no not need to wory about it. Been a while since I looked at the
code.
