When you use the Paradox ObjectPAL Number() function to convert a string to a floating-point number, the value returned to the function is slightly different than the string value. For example, if you pass the string "6.136" to the function, the value 6.136000000000000011 is returned.

Catastrophic cancellation occurs when the operands are subject to rounding errors. For example in the quadratic formula, the expression b2 - 4ac occurs. The quantities b2 and 4ac are subject to rounding errors since they are the results of floating-point multiplications.
