I got a strange behaviour in Powershell (ISE in this case).
Example Code:
[String]$stringVar = "\m/(o.0)\m/ "
[Double]$doubleVar1 = 2.5
[Double]$doubleVar2 = 3.5
[Double]$doubleVar3 = 4.5
[Double]$doubleVar4 = 5.5
write-host "2x $($stringVar * $doubleVar1)"
write-host "4x $($stringVar * $doubleVar2)"
write-host "4x $($stringVar * $doubleVar3)"
write-host "6x $($stringVar * $doubleVar4)"
Output:
2x \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/
4x \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/
4x \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/
6x \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/ \m/(o.0)\m/
It seems to me that powershell has some strange rounding behaviour. It looks like even decimals are beeing rounded down (or decimals are cut) and uneven decimals are rounded up. Is that normal behaviour?
What exactly is happening here?

Same behaviour in Powershell console.
EDIT: As @wOxxOm mentioned, this is normal .net4 rounding behaviour.
