Can anyone explain what is going on here? Why is the Floor() function producing a 3 in the following example?   logrange.sm (10kb) downloaded 20 time(s).Edit: The .sm shows it, but I am in 0.99.6671. |

This appears to be more of an issue with the log() function perhaps?  logrange_v2.sm (15kb) downloaded 13 time(s). |
