Subject: Problem with the mod function %%
Hi,
Possibly, R FAQ: 7.31
http://www.hep.by/gnu/r-patched/r-faq/R-FAQ_82.html
(1.1%%1)-0.1
#[1] 8.326673e-17
fun1 <- function(x, y, eps = .Machine$double.eps^0.5) abs(x - y) < eps
?fun1(1.1%%1,0.1)
#[1] TRUE
A.K.
0.1%%1==0.1
returns TRUE, which is right
But
1.1%%1==0.1
returns FALSE !!
Note that 1.1%%1>0.1 returns TRUE
Can someone explain what is wrong?
I'm using R version 2.15.3 on a mac.
Thank you in advance
