Why

Question

i.e. when i write i=i+0.2 instead of I=I+1 why results like this;
1
1.2
1.4
1.7999999999
1.9999999999
2.1999999999

anyone know why?

Answer 1

floats/doubles use the floating point number system, and are not 100% accurate.

Answer 2

Mashine code always a bit incorrect,you can google about it :)
Usualy it's not a problem,but just in case you should keep it in mind :)
If it needed you can use functions\methods(or what pythin had it this case idk :D) which will return right result...

Answer 3

thank you

Answer 4

Most machines are calculating with binary fractions instead of decimal fractions.
For example:

Decimal 0.2 is just short for the fraction decimal 2/10.
Decimal 2/10 is binary 10/1010

If you try to calculate binary 10/1010 you get 0.001100110011...

It's like calculating the result of 1/3 in decimal which is 0.3333333....

Binary fraction with infinte decimal places are often corrected to a resonable number of decimal places for output.That's why we usually do not recognize this issue.
