Re: cart converting to scientific notation format
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2001
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 37905
interpreted = N
texte = I had some cases where it did truncate a couple of digits when converting to scientific notation. i.e. 3312975437295328145 was transferred to 3.31297543729533e 18 (just an example).So there could arise the problem that you will have 2 customers receiving the same truncated number if only the last couple of digits change (i.e. two users visiting the site with only very short delay).Ciao,PeterOn Thu, 16 Aug 2001 09:19:35 Kenneth Grome
