Description meir 2009-04-23 09:41:25 UTC 
create a list -1,-0.99,-0.98 and autofill it till 1.
All the numbers are correct except 0, wich is displayed like 8.88178419700125E-016
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2009-04-23 15:34:32 UTC 
0.99 is not exactly representable on your computer but a close (but different) number is used. As a consequence 0 is not really in that sequence. In fact you don't really reach 1 exctly either but because ot the formatting of the numbers you only see it for 0.

This is in more detail explained in 509965 notably comment #4.
