JavaScript Numbers are Always 64-bit Floating Point. This format stores numbers in 64 bits, where the number (the fraction) is stored in bits 0 to 51, the exponent in bits 52 to 62, and the sign in bit 63. As an example var x = 0.2 + 0.1 will be resulted 0.30000000000000004. Solve the problem as var x = (0.2*10 + 0.1*10) / 10 that will be resulted 0.3. Or round it as num.toPrecision(). Braces may hold 0,1,2....etc.

A floating point is a fancy name for any number that has a decimal to represent any degree of value less than one.

The term floating point is derived from the fact that doesn't exist a fixed number of digits for decimal portion of a number. This scientific notation is used mainly to represent extremely large and small rational numbers in a very efficient and compact way.
