Computer can't store floating point too accurately. Use toFixed to set it to less decimal point. In equelity comparison, never apply strict equality to floating point "===", use equality "==" and adjust toFixed function instead. console.log((0.1+ 0.2)===0.3? "true":"false"); // return false console.log((0.1+ 0.2).toFixed(16)==0.3? "true":"false"); // return true
