hi all,
I would appreciate if someone could help me understand why the ROUND function behaves so differently when calculating t1_y and t2_y
The result for t2_y should be 80.54
Below follows the code.
Thanks
Sincerely,
Nicola Tommasi
. matrix list mati;
mati[2,2]
c1 c2
r1 818 1535
r2 248 371
. di "`tot1'";
1066
. di "`tot2'";
1906
. local t1_y = round(mati[1,1]/`tot1'*100, 0.01);
. local t2_y = round(mati[1,2]/`tot2'*100, 0.01);
. di "`t1_y'";
76.74
. di "`t2_y'";
80.54000000000001
