What is wrong with Java mathematics?
I wrote:
double x = 1.255;
double y = 0;
y = x + 0.005;
As a rezult I receive y = 1.2599999999999998.
Why?
When I use float everything is allwrite, but compiler enforce me to cast to
float allmost everything.
Thank You in advance and excuse me for my english.
Alex.
