C# (4): double minus double giving precision problems
- by thermal7
I have come across a precision issue with double in .NET I thought this only applied to floats but now I see that double is a float.
double test = 278.97 - 90.46;
Debug.WriteLine(test) //188.51000000000005
//correct answer is 188.51
What is the correct way to handle this? Round? Lop off the unneeded decimal places?
