Solving Textbook Problems on Your Own Computer ---------------------------------------------When you solve textbook problems on your own computer, the answers may be slightly different than those found in the text book. The differences will be of two kinds: a) approximately same value except different in the 5th, or even less significant, decimal place, b) subtantially different value for a variable, slack, reduced cost, or dual price. Differences of type (a) tend to result from differences in numerical accuracy between the computer used for textbook illustrations and that of the user. LINDO runs on a wide variety of computers, not all having the same numerical precision. Differences of type (b) can occur when the problem has alternate optimal solutions. All alternate optima have the same objective function value. Different types of computers, because of differing numerical precision, may take slightly different paths to finding an optimal solution, so different computers may find different alternate optima. So a general rule is: if your objective function value agrees to five significant figures with that in the textbook, then everything is OK.
