Precision for Coordinates in Grasshopper

[rolandoavillena1 (Rolandoavillena)]

Hi,

I noticed that after using the divide component the Z coordinates of the points have a issue with precision only when the coordinate ends in 0, see below:

Do you see how some Z coordinates are 12 but others are 12.0. Technically it is 12 but is that an expected behavior?

I am doing something wrong?

Attached you can find my GH definition.

I am using:

Also I have windows 11.

Thanks,

So when you see values that look like 4 it means that it in the range 4 plus or minus the integer cuttoff threshold. If the value looks like 4.0 then it differs more from 4 than the integer cutoff, but less than six decimal places. Maybe it’s 4.000000002 , or 3.99999993 .

To see the real value, you must use a custom formatting component with an {0:R} format flag. The R flag will ensure that no information is lost when formatting a number.

@Japhy thanks for the response. This is really helpful.
