In .NET floating-point values can be easy converted to int by applying (int) type cast. This operation just removes fraction. What can go wrong with this approach? The fact, however, that sometimes some very basic math can give unexpected results. Quite recently, during one of the debugging sessions what I

.NET Frameworks, Cores, Standards

.NET Framework is well-known software development platform and run-time. It includes libraries and tool-chain for building feature-reach applications for Windows OS. It exists for more than a decade and does not require a long introduction. .NET Core is a recent initiative from Microsoft[1]. This is cross-platform, open source, and
