10. multiplication using double type variables    coderanch.com

Welcome to the Ranch. The reason you don't get exactly the number is the same as why you can't write one-third exactly in decimal. Try it. Get a very sharp pencil and write and don't stop until you have got enough threes to give the exact answer. No fractional arithmetic can be represented exactly in a 123.45 format unless the factors ...

Not every decimal number (which humans prefer) can be exactly converted to a binary number (which computers prefer). So conversions back and forth between number systems tend to produce small errors. Also the number of bits used to represent numbers internally in the ...

It's a very well known issue with floating point numbers -- the precision of floating point, for certain values, do not represent very well in Base 2, even though they are obvious in Base 10. This is an issue related to the IEEE floating point standard, which is the standard used by Java, and practically every language and processor used today. ...

Don't be silly. It's not about arguing, or winning, it's about what's the right answer. Blaming IEEE.754 or indeed floating point for this problem is just as wrong as blaming Java. The problem is fractional representations, and it happens in other contexts than floating-point, e.g. multi-precision integers with fractions (BigDecimal for example). You can't precisely translate all fractions in radix A ...
