Math.Truncate inconsistencies

[mbell.irves]

I'm having an issue with Math.Truncate. Is anyone able to explain why

Math.Truncate(1.32960*10000) returns 13295

but

Math.Truncate(13296.0) returns 13296

And note that

Math.Truncate(1.32980*10000) correctly returns 13298

Hi mbell.irves, thanks for your question.

I'm not sure exactly why that happens. You would need to know exactly how the compiler works to know why you get precision loss here. It might be because its considering 10000 to be an integer, but I am not sure.

Best regards.

Ok, that's fine. It's odd but I worked around it by now always adding a very small decimal to the price after multiplying it up and that seems to do the trick. Thanks the for taking the time to answer.
