7 is the only number that produces a result with many decimals... I would expect all the numbers behave that way or to behave in the other way i.e. only a couple of decimals... but I didn't expect it to behave in a different way depending on the number. that's just an artifact of the default display mode, it doesn't show trailing 0s, so if the rounding error turns out to be zero, or less than the cut off for display purposes, you'll get less decimals printed out. > I guess I'll have to start using format-number when the number is 7. ;-) You should always use it for any kind of human-oriented display of floating point numbers.
