Hi all-
Here is a very simplified example demonstrating how
int() appears to not be properly truncating. What am
I missing here?
. set obs 1
obs was 0, now 1
. gen v1 = 99.1400000
. format v1 %9.5f
. list
+----------+
| v1 |
|----------|
1. | 99.14000 |
+----------+
. gen v2 = int(v1 * 100)/100
. gen v3 = v1 * 100
. replace v3 = int(v3)
(0 real changes made)
. replace v3 = v3 / 100
(1 real change made)
. format v2 %9.5f
. format v3 %9.5f
. list
+--------------------------------+
| v1 v2 v3 |
|--------------------------------|
1. | 99.14000 99.13000 99.14000 |
+--------------------------------+
I realize I can do my truncation in more than 1 step,
as v3 does, but would like to know what is different
here. I also of course realize the effect of
truncating 99.14 to 2 places is no change!
I am using Intercooled Stata 8.2 for Windows.
Thank you,
Zach
