Subject: [xsl] Floating point error From: "Thang X. Le" <tle@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2006 09:22:28 -0800 |
Hi, I just have a simple problem but can't seem to find the solution. Given this xml structure: <product> <quantity>3000</quantity> <price>6.4</price> </product> (the actual quantity and price may vary, but they're always valid numbers). I just have to compute the total price, which is: <xsl:value-of select="format-number(price * quantity,'0.00')"/> But the floating point number calculation is arbitrarily incorrect. I may get 19199.91, or 19200. Similarly with other values of price and quantity. It seems the incorrect result appears at random. Even if I try to round off price beforehand, nothing changes: <xsl:value-of select="format-number(format-number(price, '0.0') * quantity,'0.00')"/> I'm using dom4j, Java 1.4.1, SunOS. On Windows the calculations appear to be correct. So, is it an OS thing? Is there any workaround? Thanks, Thang Le
