Hi, I have a bit of problem with the double accuracy. E.g double os = 0.05; os += 0.05; os += 0.05; System.out.println(os); And I get 0.150000000002 (or something) I aleardy tried this program with various jdk versions and platforms and still get the same result. Of course the accuracy of the computation is not affected, but it is a small ...

hi, im new to java and was wondering if anyone can help me. im my lab im suppose to do this: So we have: + 1.875 x 22 = 7.5f, which is a floating point number that can be represented exactly in Java. Assume that 12.36f is represented as 01000001010001011100001010001111. This bit pattern is not exactly 12.36, but it is very ...

5. Factorial Problem: Floating point accuracy    forums.oracle.com

A double is 64 bits, in IEEE 754 format, which translates to about 15 digits of decimal precision. So, for example, the number 9332621544394415268169923885626670049071596826438162146859296389521759999322991560894146397615651828625369792082722375825118521091686400000000000000000000000 cannot be stored in a double.
