Could someone please explain to me the following strange behaviour? When I
generate a new variable:
gen x=3366161 and then:
gen x2=10*x1
the number that I get for x2 is 33661608 (not the correct number 33661610).
When the initial x1 number is 3366162 the x2 is correct, that is 33661620.
Any help?
Andrzej
