If I enter this expression in a buffer
(* 85 1.1)
and evaluate it it using Ctrl-x-e, I get the following answer
displayed in the minibuffer:
93.50000000000001
If I evaluate this expression
(- 93.5 (* 85 1.1))
I get this answer in the minibuffer:
-1.4210854715202004e-14
Is this documented in the reference manual? I was unable to find
anything about this kind of problem.
