error (rounding or user) in simple math op

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
I just noticed odd behavior in R2012b that really seems like an error though perhaps I'm making a foolish error?
I enter the following >> 2.7+1.8*[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
I expect 4.5 6.3 8.1 9.9 11.7 13.5 15.3 17.1 18.9
I get: ans =
Columns 1 through 5
4.500000000000000 6.300000000000001 8.100000000000001 9.900000000000000 11.699999999999999
Columns 6 through 9
13.500000000000000 15.300000000000001 17.100000000000001 18.899999999999999
This seems odd to me for obvious reasons. Even something simple like
>> 1.8*9
ans =
16.199999999999999
how could this be happening?
Thank you
(p.s. its 8.0.0.783 R2012b)

Use
format short
The problem is simply caused by the way, real data are stored in memory

This could be more helpful here:

But what is wrong with "1.1*9999 ans = 1.099890000000000e+04"? 1.1*9999 is 10998.9 or 1.09989e4. I cannot see why this should be "off by 0.1".
