Hi, Today I was flabbergasted to see something that looks like a rounding error in the very basic seq function in R. > a = seq(0.1,0.9,by=0.1) > a [1] 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 > a[1] == 0.1 [1] TRUE > a[2] == 0.2 [1] TRUE > a[3] == 0.3 [1] FALSE It turns out that the alternative > a = (1:9)/10 works just fine. Are there any good guides out there on how to deal
