Question

I’m struggling a bit with an excel calculation that needs to be written in C#.

The calculation in excel looks like this:

=(-0,7333 * (1) ^ 2 + 3,3167 * 1 + 1,625) * 1.821 * 16/1000 * 1,125

In C# I have this:

Math.Pow(-0.7333 * (1.0), 2) + 3.3167 * 1.0 + 1.625) * 1821.3125 * 16.0 / 1000 * 1.125

The excel calculation gives me the result of 138

The C# calculation gives me the result of 179.63554194392623

Of course, the C# calculation should match the result of the Excel calculation and while I’m certainly not a genious when it comes to math, I fail to spot the difference in this calculation :-/

Can anyone point this math-blind being here in the right direction? 🙂

Any help/input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

All the best,

Bo

Edit:
Thanks for all your answers! 🙂 I just learned something new right there.

Answer 1

Change format of the cell in EXcel and it will show you the exact result.

Also -0,7333 * (1) ^ 2 in Excel is -0.7333 * Math.Pow((1.0), 2) and not as you wrote.
