?>


will give that output

a=-4.31- b=-5- m=4.31*5=-21.55- and res=21.55-
v1=round(4.31 * 5 , 1)=-21.5- -21.5-
v2=round(m, 1)=-21.5- -21.5-
v3=round(a*b , 1)=-21.5- -21.5-
v4=round(res , 1)=-21.6- -21.6-
expected round by 2 round...
vbiz=round(4.31*5 ,2)=21.55 -- and round(21.55, 1)=21.6

r=21.5-21.5=0 -good-
r2=21.5-21.5=0 -good-
unexpected result...
r3=21.55-21.55=3.5527136788005E-15 -Huh ?-
