Why is modulus operator not working for double in c#?

Question

Consider this:

double x,y;
x =120.0;
y = 0.05;

double z= x % y;

I tried this and expected the result to be 0, but it came out 0.04933333.<

Answer 1

This is what we use.. :)

 public double ModuloOf(double v1, double v2)
    {
        var mult = 0;

        //find number of decimals
        while (v2 % 1 > 0)
        {
            mult++;
            v2 = v2 * 10;
        }

        v1 = v1 * Math.Pow(10, mult);

        var rem = v1 % v2;
        return rem / Math.Pow(10, mult);
    }
