Compiler setting for accurate math?

[bplus]

Why does this happen?   



when this is the code?

Code: (Select All)

Dim x
For x = 1 To .05 Step -.05
    Print x
    _Delay x
Next x

Is there a complier setting to keep this from happening?

The lesson is don't trust a single index in a FOR loop with < 1 steps. It gets off track by as much as half the step value.
Here is equivalent that works better:

Code: (Select All)

Dim x
For x = 100 To 5 Step -5
    i = i + 1: Print i, x / 100
    _Delay x / 100 ' <<< why ??  accuracy .001
Next x
