[Scilab-users] Floating precision differences

[Adelson Oliveira]

Hi,

I've Downloaded scilab-5.5.1. I've installed it in Openmandriva 2014.1
Linux and in Red Hat Enterprise 6.5.
Machines are different (intel i7 and intel Xeon)

At Openmandriva,

--> 1.0000000000000001-1.
 ans  =

     0.

At Red Hat 6.5,

--> 1.0000000000000001-1.
 ans  =

     1.000D+16

Why is it different?

Thanks
