perlquestion wickedjester <p>Hello!</p> <p>I've got an array with 40 elements with each element having a value of '0.001'. If I add them all together and divide by 40 to get the average, I get something like:</p> <p>$Avg = 0.001025</p> <p>rather than 0.001, which is what it should really return.</p> <p>Now, the script I'm righting is a chemical diffusion model dealing with very small numbers and this kind of inaccuracy is causing me problems. If this is a floating point issue, can anyone give me a recommendation on how to deal with this?</p> <p>Many thanks!</p>
