I swear I didn't know that. Am I a bad programmer? Should I quit writing code?

It's a new week alright. That's one of the features of IEEE754 and why using .toFixed is a good idea when using floats

You're not a bad programmer. I think you should read a bit about how decimal places work in computers

@dontPanic okey, I won't panic 😉. Thanks, mate.

@inaba Aha moment.

One of our first programming classes in Python, our teacher had a trick question about this.. Spent about an hour trying to figure out why the hell my code wasn't working.. If it wasn't for that assignment, I probably wouldn't know about this either. :)

A brotip is that you should not be using == for comparison. Instead, you should take the absolute value of their difference, and compare if it's smaller than a threshold value. This depends on the task and the required precision.

@teganburns any browser which has regular logic has this.

I thought this would only occur when dividing two decimals🤔

@osiris1337 Thanks man

0.2+0.4 isn't any better

When working with floating point numbers, make sure to sprintf before evaluating them.

precision

@AlexDeLarge I also think so.

@TheCommoner282 Heyyy, that was a good one.

I suggest you look into Number.epsilon in order to enforce equality on these types of comparison

yay floats!

@teganburns was it a joke? Because jokes are supposed to be funny. Unless Im missing something this isnt funny in any way

@RemyRm That I know.. shift+cmd+4 😀
