Why Does ISC Use Four Decimal Places?
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 10:19 pm
It's something I've always wondered about. Is there a practical reason why all of the prices (and many other numeric values) are saved in the database with 4 decimal places?
For example: "9.9500" instead of "9.95"
Is this an industry standard that Interspire was following? Or is it just a matter of the programmer's preferences?
