Floating point and math precision

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Floating point and math precision

Hi all

I'm writing a little program and I need calculations accurate to the 9th decimal at least.
I noticed that floating point operation aren't very accurate with BlitzMax.

Can anyone explain me why and a possible workaround, if there's any?

thanks
