If you multiply a fraction that isn't a power a number greater than 1 the returned result will be incorrect (for example PICO-8 returns 9.9991 from print(0.1*100)). I'm aware that this is a problem inherent to fixed point numbers, however some special cases would be greatly appreciated.

@Catatafish ah, good point, i was trying to extract digits of a number because tostr() and by extension print() rounds small fractions incorrectly (0.0001 becomes 0 for example) i should probably bring that up in a new report and close this one.

Oh right, I misunderstood the issue, sorry.
Depending on what you're doing with it you could use the hex version of tostr + regular print to see precise values. For non-debug purposes you'll probably have to roll your own.

@Catatafish yeah, im just gonna have to roll my own :(

Can you explain further? It seems part of this conversation got deleted and I'm interested in the details. thanks!

Yeah, sorry for that too!
It wasn't relevant, so I removed it to avoid derailing the thread (and then wished I hadn't as now it looks weird), but the short version is I went off on a diatribe about floating point.
