------- Comment #2 from mike dot c at u-s-merchants dot com 2005-12-20 00:21 ------- Subject: RE: atof conversion error
Yes, but when I set the string to "60342935.00", I still get the same result - 60342936 from atof() whereas if the covert to variable is double (instead of float) I get the right result - 60342935. I still think atof(##################) should return the right result, whatever the precision. Thanks.
