Answer 1

It's an exceedingly bad idea to compare integers and floating-point numbers for equality in any language. It works for very simple cases, but after you do any math at all, the likliehood of the program doing what you want it to decreases dramatically.

It has to do with the way floating-point numbers are stored on a binary, digital system.

If you are very sure you want to use this, create a class to make you own number with fractions. use one int to maintain the whole number, and another int to maintain the fraction.
