Hi.
This might possibly be done for the range of numbers noted by parsing the numbers, inserting 2 zeros, and so avoiding any arithmetic whatsoever -- just a thought ... cheers, drl

Hello
I am getting this very annoying issue in awk:
awk '{a=12825;b=a*1.25; print b}' test
16031.2
Thing is the multiplication result is wrong... Result should be 16031.25.
I think the issue only happens on bigger numbers.
What can I do to get passed this?
Thanks by advance (3 Replies)

Hi Friends,
I am trying to round following number.
0.07435000
echo "0.07435000"|awk '{printf "%s\n",$1*100}'|awk '{printf "%.2f\n",$1}'
It returns: 7.435
It should return: 7.44
Any suggestion please?

I had a person bring an interesting problem to me that appears to involve some sort of rounding inside awk. I've verified this with awk and nawk on Solaris as well as with gawk 3.1.5 on a Linux box.
The original code fragment he brought me was thus:
for (index=0; index < 1; index=index+.1)
