Description

Sorry, the last fix works great for one character strings such as 'c' but if you try to compare string with many characters it returns the incorrect value. For example:

"('cccc' < 'zzzz')" should return true since 'cccc' is lessthan 'zzzz' however it returns false. I have attached an updated IEEEFloatingPointMath class that should fix this.
