This is my double:
double determinant = 2.8*5*-9.5;
It should print out -133, right?
It prints out some weird junk like: 1.8e + 04
How can I correct this?

Jump to PostIt works for me:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double determinant = 2.8*5*-9.5; cout << "determinant = " << determinant<<endl; return 0; } ./Temp determinant = -133

It works for me:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
double determinant = 2.8*5*-9.5;
cout << "determinant = " << determinant<<endl;
return 0;
}
./Temp
determinant = -133

Alright, it worked. Thanks for all the help guys.
PS: Why would a compiler have problems with a double like that?
