Because floating-point numbers are represented with a finite number of bits, many decimal values (like 0.1 ) cannot be represented exactly. They are stored as approximations. Consequently, mathematical operations accumulate rounding errors.

While PROC FCMP is itself a tool within SAS, several third-party resources help SAS programmers leverage it effectively. Because floating-point numbers are represented with a finite
