I am on problem set 1 question c. My monthly payment and number of months is correct but my final balance differs from the example output for both test cases by .01. Is there best practice for rounding and adding/subtracting to adjust for floating point? I am using notepad++ and Win powershell instead of IDLE. Can this affect results?

Correct. It is the 2011 6.00 SC course, problem set 1c. Additional info: The balance that prints from my code is -.11 for both test examples.
