[Closed] Same calculation different results

I need a sanity check! This is a code fragment that’s part of a position script controller. It’s been giving me nightmares. To troubleshoot, I’ve temporarily put in two print statements to check my calculations. They should print the same results, but they don’t! The first is giving me a very small value (0.99969d0). The second gives me a very large value (1.43784d+008). I’m sure I’m doing something stupid in my code, but I’m stuck. :banghead: What am I doing wrong?

The first print takes the form of Print (calculation)
The second is variable=(same calculation)
print variable

Print statements are near the bottom.

Thanks in advance!
