Hello Artima;
Good Morning

Here I come up with a code that donot produce an accurate result
// my program goes like this


public class FloatingNumber {

public static void main(String...args) {

double i;
double num=0.0;
for(i=0.0;i<10;i++)
num=num+0.1;

System.out.println(num);

}

}
// output: 0.9999999999999999

the same code writen in C produced an Accurate result
// the C program goes like this

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>

main()

{
double i, num=0.0;

for(i=0;i<10;i++)
num=num+0.1;
printf("%f",num);

}
// output: 1.0000

/** please explain me the difference and suggest me a bettrcode to obtain an accurate result through Java
Thanks in advance.
