[fpc-pascal] Floating point question

[James Richters]

Shouldn’t this do all calculations as Extended?
 
   AA = Extended(8427+33/1440.0);
 
It does NOT
 
Const
   AA = Extended(8427+33/1440.0);
   BB = 8427+33/1440;
   CC = 8427.0229166666666666666666666667;
 
 
A_Ext = 8427.02246093750000000000
B_Ext = 8427.02291666666666625000
C_Ext = 8427.02291666666666625000
 
A_Dbl = 8427.02246093750000000000
B_Dbl = 8427.02291666666680000000
C_Dbl = 8427.02291666666680000000
 
A_Sgl = 8427.02246100000000000000
B_Sgl = 8427.02246100000000000000
C_Sgl = 8427.02246100000000000000
