Code for multiple generator not working

Question

Im a beginner at python and i thought that id write a code which writes the multiples of numbers from some point to another
x = float(input()) # From which number
y = float(input()) #End number
z = float(input()) # Multiple
while x<= y:
if x%z != 0:
x= x+(1/100)
continue
if x%z == 0:
print(x)
x= x+(1/100)
print ("done")

However, for the x+=0.01 , it does not seem to add a 0.01 but instead seems to be adding a 0.010000000001 yet i do not have any reason to see why. I would appreciate any help on the matter

Answer 1

Decimals are hard to store for computers so it stores them as a very close approximation. To get around this you can use the round() method. i.e.

x = round(x+(1/100), 2) #keeping it to two decimal places.
