Single data type

[moki]

Can someone please explain to me why a varable defined as single with a decimal * 100 comes out as a fraction?

sample:

dim sngx as single

sngx = 8.40

debug.print sngx * 100 ' results in 839.9999

Why doesn't it result to 840?

I'm probably the only one who is missing something here.
