Hi,
I’m debugging my code line by line and I see values like these in the inspector. What do they mean? And are they essentially zero?
What you’re seeing is called the scientific notation.
-3.3438327e-06
equals
-3.3438327 x 10^-6,
which is
-0.0000033438327
which is very close to zero.
You usually end up with values like this, because of the limited precision of floating point values represented in a computer, so after doing some math, results often end up being slightly off.
i c. cool thanks.
BTW, I heard of matrix creep before, could this throw things off during prolonged game play?
