JacobSeated Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hey, Strange issue here with basic math. It works on my calculator, but not in PHP.1000*1.1^1 should result in 1100, but instead gives me 1101. I.e: echo 1000*1.1^1; // 1101 What am I missing? What is with the tiny inaccuracy?

JacobSeated Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Ahh, it seems PHP is using "**" instead of "^" for some reason.https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Somehow that slipped past me. Thanks anyway though 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Most common programming languages use ^ for exclusive or. In PHP's case, ** is actually a relatively recent addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
