    Resolved [RESOLVED] Strange arithmetical error with double precision

    I 'm sitting for hours infront of my computer staring in disbelief.
    I 'm writing a simple piece of code like:

    x1# = 5
    y1# = x1#
    x2# = 10
    y2# = y1# + x2#

    The answer comes out as y1# = 0, y2# = 0 !

    That code exactly as is works fine for me.

    Post the actual code, you're probably overlooking something like scope or changes taking place elsewhere.

    Bs.
    Thanks to posting here I found out.
    I tried to repost a more complete piece of code and strange symbols appeared.
    There were Greek letters where they should n't and those come out as symbols here !
    Some of the Greek letters are look alike with the Latin ones.

    It works now.
    Could be seen only because Greek letters cannot be printed in this page when I coppy-paste and something else appeared.
