Re: Math Error TS 2000

{This is a simplified example of the "Math error" I reported in TS 2000.
Applied to $NDX (BMI) I get quite different results for value6 and value7
below,
yet mathematically they are identical.   It does not appear to be due to
Easy Language's restriction of only 6 or 7 significant digits for variables.

Upticks, DownTicks and Volume for $NDX usually do not exceed 10 so my
indicator uses
simple integer arithmetic, where the integers don't usually exceed 10.

This is not my actual indicator, but a simplified example.
I set MaxBarsBack to 12}


if CurrentBar = 1 then value99 = MaxBarsBack-1;
value1 = UpTicks;
value2 = DownTicks;
value3 = Volume;

value4 = value1*value3;
value5 = value2*value3;

value6 = 0;
For value0 = 0 to value99 begin
   value6 = value6 + value4[value0]-value5[value0];
   value7 = value6 + value3[value0]*(value1[value0]-value2[value0]);
end;
Print(value6," ",value7);
