Could someone please explain to me the following strange behaviour? When I
generate a new variable:
gen x1=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?
Sorry if this is double post (from a different account).
Andrzej
