Possible bug in subtraction.

[taurus905]

Can someone tell me why the following script outputs the wrong answer?

If you input 1234567 in the first inputbox and 1 in the second inputbox the output is 1.23457e+006

But in beta v3.1.1.127 the output was 1234566 (which was/is correct).

I saw this at:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=136074

Fixed : Conversion from floating point to string now shows less precision to prevent displaying unexpected values. (by Valik)

I am not sure if that is what caused this problem, but I hope it will be fixed.

Or better yet, I hope it is something I am overlooking.

There is an issue in the 3.1.1.128 ..... will very likely be fixed/reverted in 3.1.1.129.
