About numeric precision

 Hi:
           I find that if
             a = new(1,double)
             a = 19800103
             print(a)
             a will be 19800103
           however,
             a = new(1,double)
             a = 19800103. (plus a point)
             print(a)
             a will be 19800104
 
         I wonder why?
