This may be a bit off topic, but I think it might concern any java
developper.
I'm using Blackdown's 1.2.2 JDK, but I remember having the same trouble in
the past with others jdk too. I must be misdoing something :
take two floats and multiply them : it works in most cases. Most cases ?
for example
(float)0.05 * (float)2179 = 108.950005 instead of 108.95
in some cases, an operation like x / ( 1/y) works. In some others (including
this one) it doesn't.
The margin error is always less than 0.00001.
Is it a cast problem, or is it worse. (By the way, the same thing happens
also in javascript both in IE and Netscape).
