Zombies win or humans win

Dear Prof van Zon,

I checked the results with other students and found that I had 823 human-win cases & 493 zombie-win cases, while other students had 828 human-win cases & 488 zombie-win cases. Then I went to check my "zombie-least-likely-winning" cases. I realized that, i.e. ./mzasolve 0.32 0.62, the outcome was "survival=0% winners=humans".

When processing my results, I used "survivals=0%" as zombie-win, while others used "winners=zombies" as zombie-win. This should be where the discrepancy came from. However, I think "survival=0% winners=humans" might be ambiguous to distinguish the winners.

I would like to report this issue. Thanks!

Noted, thanks. The issue is of course with the finite precision in the percentage output, and another demonstration that one should generally prefer binary output over text. That the winners= line is correct can be checked with the produced (binary) netcdf files, but that wasn't expected in this assignment.
