Answered by navrajkalsi2005

Why is 0.1+0.2 not equal to 0.3 in most programming languages? It's called "precision", and it's due to the fact that computers do not compute in Decimal, but in Binary. In Math, 0.1 is a Rational number, which means that it is the result of a ratio between two numbers, 1 / 10.
