Answer 1

@Johnathan. JS is fine at math. It is the floating point data type that is the problem here.

Excerpt from the article you linked:

It's interesting that this behavior is often attributed to JavaScript, while it’s pertaining to any language the uses floating point format for numbers. This means that if you use ‘float’ or ‘double’ data types in Java or C you’ll see the same result.

Answer 4

@jay, I do understand your point. But when it comes to precision calculations, JavaScript is not the best one. But there's hope based on @Ace's post.

@Ojani: yes

Answer 6

JavaScript is not really good at math.
0.1 + 0.2 !== 0.3.
It has only one number type which causes that error unlike other languages. That issue gave me a headache before.
