I tried to loop from 0.1 to 2.0 and then print the output to the console.. But I got strange output like these:
0.1 0.2 0.30000000000000004 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.7999999999999开发者_如何学Go999 0.8999999999999999 0.9999999999999999 1.0999999999999999 1.2 1.3 1.4000000000000001 1.5000000000000002 1.6000000000000003 1.7000000000000004 1.8000000000000005 1.9000000000000006 2.0000000000000004
Source code:
public class test {
public static void main(String[] a) {
double i = 0.1;
while (i < 2.1)
System.out.println(i);
i+=0.1;
}
}
}
Why it doesn't this print the exact numbers instead of having point like 0.79999999999
?
Also is ther any difference using for
instead of while
, since I dont know how to make 0.1 increment?
This is normal. It's inherent in floating point; numbers like 0.3 can't be stored as exact values in binary, so you get slowly accumulating errors. References: Python manual, Wikipedia, Technical explanation from Princeton CS.
That's a bug (on your side).
Do not use floating point numbers until you learn what they are and how they work.
