Line 59: ::::: No. That REXX floating point is exact for fixed length decimal fractions. However, you cannot represent the result of dividing 1 by 3 exactly. For example. Well, you can, but not using that numeric representation. --[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] 21:35, 13 August 2012 (UTC) :::::: Yes, I wasn't talking about the ''result'' of an arithmetic operation (notably division), just a floating-point number.
