I tried multiplying 15.95 * 3 and was expecting a result 47.85. But the result was surprising(47.849999999999994).

In some other cases also it is happening Ex: 10.65 * 3 = 31.950000000000003 10.55 * 3 = 31.650000000000002

Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Thank you

Also `0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3`. That's because of floating point numbers. – pimvdb Aug 08 '11 at 11:55
