[R] seq

[Henric Nilsson]

Hi everyone,

I've tried the below on R 1.9.1 and the 2004-08-30 builds of R 1.9.1 
Patched and R 2.0.0 on Windows 2000, and the results are consistent.

 > seq(0.5, 0, by = -0.1)
[1] 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0

 > seq(0.7, 0, by = -0.1)
[1]  7.000000e-01  6.000000e-01  5.000000e-01  4.000000e-01  3.000000e-01 
2.000000e-01  1.000000e-01 -1.110223e-16

Is this really the intended behaviour? I ended up using

 > seq(0.7, 0, length = 8)
[1] 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0

which does what I want.
