Java 1.1.6 can't add!

[Steve Curry]

I have installed JDK 1.1.6 on my RedHat 5.0 Linux box and when performing
mathmatical calculations in java I get incorrect results. Take for example
(float)14.39 I can do a basic System.out.println and it will print out on
the command line: 14.3899999999999. What is wrong with my JDK 1.1.6? I am
new to Java so hopefully I'm just missing something small here.
