A float is a 32 bit IEEE 754 floating point. A double is a 64 bit IEEE 754 floating point. so it is just a matter of precision because neither of the fraction portions .2 and .26 have a terminating binary representation, so there is some rounding error. the double has more precision so it has slightly less rounding error. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html
