Here's a small C program that illustrates the same thing. I'm not a C
programmer, so I hacked the multiplication in there because I couldn't
figure out how to make printf display enough decimals. This was
compiled on Linux (RedHat 8.0), and exhibits the identical error:
#include "stdio.h"
int main() {
printf("%1.9f\n", (15.12 + 59.70 - 74.82) * 100000000);
}
Save to 'test.c', run 'gcc test.c', and then './a.out'. So it's not Java.
cheers,
