I did not suggest that as a solution, but rather to reply to Gene's complaint that "this is not an integer". > The cents approach solves the problems > of binary conversion inaccuracies, > but you still have to be a good programmer. The "cents approach" is usually not exact enough. Intermediate calculations may well require more precision, and sometimes even "final" results, for instance some stock quotations. > Adding and substracting of cents will be exact. > Multiplying with an integer too. You should consider "overflow". AISB: | IMHO one is better off to use a bigint library when there is really | the need for exact integer calculations. -- Christoph M. Becker
