Dear CIAO users (and Jose Morales, in special)
Thanks for your replies so far about my problems with arithmetic in CIAO.
I would just like to add at this point that if I try the same division with other values, the long sequence of zeros won't appear. Check this:
?- X is 1927/100.
X = 19.27 ?
However, if I try
?- X is 1926/100.
X = 19.2600000000000029 ?
I am running CIAO version 1.8 and the specs of my machine (as requested by Jose Morales) are:
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version: 5.1.2600
Memory (RAM) Capacity: 512 MB
Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.26GHz Version: x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4 Speed: 2253 MHz
