(0.3 * 3) = 0,8999999999 ????

[Alessio Dragoni]

Hi

        I try to run the code appended at the end of this message on v1.2pre1
        on linux and in the jdk1.2 and jdk1.2.1 on Win and the result is
        that 0.3*3 is equals to 0,89999999999 and not simply to 0.9   !!!

        is this a bug or what?

        trying to run this one and you can see it!
        Anyone knows some bug-fix to resolve this strange
        error ?

        any comments are welcome!

        bye Alessio

                        System.out.println();
                        dd = (0.3 * 3);
                        System.out.println("the result is: " + dd);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                        System.out.println("errore : " + e.toString());
                }
                
        }
