:::Then I am afraid I do not understand your claim. But if you could give me a specific example which you believe fails, I can try it in the [[Price_Fraction#J|implementation I wrote]] and see if it works or not. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
::::Since your implementation seem to use floating-point numbers, it fails to return the value 0.26 as the task requires. Float "0.26f" is not 0.26, because the latter cannot be represented as an IEEE 754 float. The problem would disappear if the task stated the accuracy of the result and the comparisons. E.g. 0.26 +/- 0.0005. --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 19:23, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
