BUG in Windows Calc [modified]
-
Like I said - try doing the calculation yourself, in binary (if you can manage it), and see if you get the right answer. oh and your attempt at an insult? Pathetic :)
So if the code to compute in binary is sound, then there can't possibly be anything wrong with the decimal side of the coding? Wow, you must have dozens of ready replies to throw off your clients. 'Well, I understand the Print under the main menu is not working but if you'll hit your print screen key and paste that into Paint, and then print from there, you'll see the printing routines are working spot on.'

Not quite sure what this proves but I hope you had fun doing it!
This was just e fast test how accurate the .NET framework is, and it proved that it is possible (by M$) to do the right calculations. It is a stupid design bug in Calc. Also, when I buy a calculator I want to get the exact calculation and not an approximation. Well, I see... there is no sens to talk anymore about that.

Windows XP calculator also gives '-8.1648465955514287168521180122928e-39' answer. Long term bug I guess!
