问题


In the mma help docs for Position, the following is listed under "Possible Issues"

In[1]:= Position[Range[-1, 1, 0.05], 0.1]
Out[1]= {}

There is no explanation given though. Why does this happen? So if I really need to find the position of 0.1 in Range[-1,1,0.05], how do I do it?


回答1:


It is a numeric precision issue: 0.1 in the Range is not internally the same as 0.1 typed in. The normal way to resolve this is to compare with Equal rather than the implicit SameQ.

Position[Range[-1, 1, 0.05], x_ /; x == 0.1]
