Additional digits added by 'ascii to raster' tool

[MarcVis]

Hi,

I have a DEM in ascii format which I imported into ArcMap using the 'ascii to raster' tool. All values in the ascii file have 3 digits after the decimal point. However, after importing, the raster values do have many more digits (e.g. 1451.623 became 1451.623047...). Does anyone know where the additional digits come from, aka what is happening behind the scenes of the ascii to raster tool?

Thanks!

Marc

True... I just find it easier using the array approach since I can do any last minute resampling/aggregation or reclassification (the empty line 13 ) before saving out.

Dan and Steve, thanks a lot for your replies, that was very helpful! 😄

Best,
