Re: cumsum bug or Matlab rounding problem ?

I think we should have let him re-write cumsum.

Get rid of all of those floating point arithmetic
"bugs" in MATLAB. Sum has the problem too.
And get rid of those trig function problems too.
I mean what good is it that sin(100*pi) does not
give zero? Or this one?

sqrt(2)^2-2
ans =
4.4409e-16

So OP, please fix all of these "bugs" for us too.

Or, if you wish, just learn how to use floating
point arithmetic. It might be easier in the end
for you.

Ok, sorry John, I didn't want to offense anyone. Thanks for you help.
