String cannot show the correct number

I find a "bug", the code is as follows:

Code: Select all

colorText=255,255,255,205

; ----------------------------------

[measureStrNum]
Measure=Calc

[meterTitle]
Meter=STRING
StringAlign=LEFT

FontColor=#colorText#

FontSize=#textSize#
X=20
Y=12
W=140
H=18
Text=[measureStrNum]
DynamicVariables=1

the meterTitle should be "12345678901234567
", but a "6" come out as the last character of the string

I hope some Master could help me, Thx~~

Nobody wanna have a try and check the bug?

The problem is how a computer stores a floating-point number. We have defined the Calc measure to return a "double" value, which means it can work with a number within this range of 1.7e-308 to 1.7e+308. However, when a number gets beyond 9,007,199,254,740,992, the only "representable" ones are the even digits.

This is just a limitation with all computers using "double" floating point variables. Here is some more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format
