Is 31.010 greater or less or equal to 31.01

Well, lets look at it  this way ... tell me if this does anything for you:

-- Take the number  31.01 .

-- Stick a zero on the end and make it  31.010 .

-- Zeros at the end of a number after the decimal point don't change
the value of the number.  So you haven't changed the value of  31.01 .

-- But now it looks exactly like the other number !

-- They must be equal.

Does this float your boat at all ?
