    Thumbs up The relative error in VB

    Hi all, I have a problem using floating-point operations (division,multiplication,addition,subtraction)
    Еxpressions like 2/3 or 1/3 or others can not be calculated exactly, this is a serious problem for me now! My question is if there is somewhere suitable software or some way that I can use to define an interval of admissible error
    Is it possible to find a software that calculates that interval of admissible error every time when i make a computation.
    Thanks!!!

    Thanks!
    But let me to ask again if there is a software which calculates an interval of admissible error every time when a computation is done
