So we have one of our assignments due tommorow. I used the program at school today and pinched a copy of it for myself so i can play around with it.
Its his own program that he wrote, and he had suggested to play around with it a few times ( I am sure he didnt mind me pinching it). I played with it once, got the answer and printed it and got out.

Now here is the problem - same values as earlier today, my answers are totally screwed up.

On his assignment he has a question on improving the program - hell yeah im going to give it to him.

anyway.. back to my assignment..

well rounding errors wont show me two completely different answers for the same values on two completely different machines.

my gf who took this class when she was going to gcc, said its supposed to do that.. but i cant see why it gave me the same output on my machine 3 times in a row, but teh same numbers from this morning, it gave me the correct numbers.

Maybe this is why hes a Econ prof and not a CS prof

I'm already impressed that he developed a program in the first place.
