Re: Chipmunk Basic arrays (Attn: Ron Nicholson)

-> In an infinite-precision machine, 0.1 is stored exactly. 
  
It's stored exactly in real machines that use Binary Coded Decimal 
representations of numbers. 
  
There are BASICs with BCD. I have one here, for the Mac. It's nice 
never to have to worry about binary approximations. On the other hand, 
calculations are significantly slower.
