[Numpy-discussion] Question about numpy.arange()

Hello,

Is "b" an expected value? I am suspecting another floating point arithmetic issue.

I[1]: a = np.arange(1.6, 1.8, 0.1, dtype='float32')

I[2]: a O[2]: array([ 1.60000002, 1.70000005], dtype=float32)

I[3]: b = np.arange(1.7, 1.8, 0.1, dtype='float32')

I[4]: b O[4]: array([ 1.70000005, 1.79999995], dtype=float32)

A bit conflicting with the np.arange docstring:

"* Values are generated within the half-open interval ``[start, stop)`` (in other words, the interval including `start` but excluding `stop`). * "

Thanks.
