whoa..rounding error uncovered

Alvery on 14 Jul 2014

Also, "round(X,N)" gives an error - almost like it couldn't have a 2nd parameter

Great problem, not too hard but required a bit of thinking

shahriar memaran on 27 Feb 2017

It took me a long time (before reading the comments !!!) to figure out that for instance the result for rem(135.01,100) is not 35.01 but is 35.009999999999991.
Can anyone help me with why the issue is there and how to solve it (not by adding 1e-3)!?
