Unpredictable double [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you're desperate for precision use BigDecimal.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    BigDecimal d = BigDecimal.valueOf(0.3d);
    BigDecimal f = BigDecimal.valueOf(0.1d);
    System.out.println(d.add(f));
    System.out.println(d.multiply(f));
    System.out.println(d);
    System.out.println(f);
    System.out.println(d.subtract(f));
    System.out.println(d.divide(f));
    System.out.println((d.subtract(f)).multiply(d.subtract(f)));
}

Output

0.4
0.03
0.3
0.1
0.2
3
0.04

Or round your result, DecimalFormat will do this quite nicely using the # symbol meaning only show decimals where necessary

    double d = 0.3d;
    double f = 0.1d;
    DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
    System.out.println(format.format(d + f));
    System.out.println(format.format(d * f));
    System.out.println(format.format(d));
    System.out.println(format.format(f));
    System.out.println(format.format(d - f));
    System.out.println(format.format(d / f));
    System.out.println(format.format((d - f) * (d - f)));

Output

0.4
0.03
0.3
0.1
0.2
3
0.04
