Android number format is wrong somehow, instead of 3.5 I get 3.499999999, why?
Does any one know why Android platform gives such strange result?
4.1 - 4 = 0.09999999999999964
It's only 4 that gives such strange rounding.
Actually I need to get mantissa from 4.1 so I need 0.1 as result but not 0.09999999999999964.
Any ideas?
This is an issue of rounding. You can take a look at the BigDecimal class which should do what you need.

I am trying to round to the nearest decimal value, however, this line of code keeps returning a number between 0 and 1, I also want the output to be between 1 and 10. Where am I going wrong?
power[i] = rng.nextDouble();
Math.round(ThreadLocalRandom.nextDouble(1,10)*10)/10.0
You can use JDK's Math.round.
A detailed example can be found here.

Best method to round up to the nearest 0.05 in java
(4 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
for example the program should be able to execute this task.
21.34 should be displayed as 21.35,
21.32 should be displayed as 21.30,
21.36 should be displayed as 21.35,
21.38 should be displayed as 21.40
please explain or give me code samples on how to make this work. or is it even possible? Thanks!
If you want to round a double to the nearest multiple of 0.05 you can do
d = Math.round(d * 20) / 20.0;
In countries like Australia you need to round to a multiple of 5c.
please explain
As you are asking the question, you really need to be able to explain it.

Could anyone explain to me why
System.out.println(100*(1-10^(-10/10)));
results in the number "800" being printed out? The correct answer is 90 when you use a calculator. How would I go about doing this calculation in Java?
Thanks!
The ^ operator does not do what you think it does. It is bitwise-xor
You need to look into the Math.pow() method.

I don't know whether this question is asked before. I couldn't find it in searches.
System.out.println(1.00 - 9*.10);
the above statement prints out 0.09999999999999998 instead of simply 0.01
I know this is a well known problem in JAVA but i want to know the reason why it is so. Can someone guide me to the implementation details of float and explain the reason.
It's not a problem with java, it's a fundamental problem of the way floating point and double precision numbers are stored and processed in pretty much every language and on every processor.
Because of the way it stores the number it cannot (except in very rare cases) store the number precisely.
A full description of why can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating-point_format
You can use things such as BigDecimal to store any precision of number without this issue, however it will run much slower so you have a trade-off of precision vs performance.

Floating point arithmetic not producing exact results in Java
I was recently working on a project when I came across a strange bug.
When 2 was subtracted from 65.12 the value was greater (not equal to) 63.12.
Here's the simplified code:
System.out.println(65.12-2);
And the output in the console:
63.120000000000005
I'm not sure why this is the case and if anyone knows a simple fix/workaround that would be great!
Thanks.
It has to do with the way floating-point values are handled by computers. The recommended text for fully understanding the topic is: What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic
