Computation Error

[toptrader]

I have a very simple formula that is returning strange results.

double var1 = 1.27943;

double var2 = .0054

double var3 = var1 -(.5*var2);

The result is that var3 is set to -2.05777. I don't understand how that number is being calculated. Am I missing something?

Yes, a couple of leading zero's and a semi colon,

double var2 = 0.0054;

double var3 = var1 -(0.5*var2);
