Re: This calculation is just wrong / computer can't count!

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I don't think this will work.

When the results that were calculated on paper are sent back, the app has to store them somewhere.

Say, if the result was 0.8(3), and the receiver on the other end types it in, the app will still store it as 0.8333333....33337!!! That of course if the original requirement is still in place, to use doubles.

Another option is to add email handling to your app. When it's time to do a calculation, have the app email values in the variables to you. Do the math with pencil/paper and send the results back to your app via email reply. Problem solved!!
