Challenge: Floating Point Precision
Understanding how floating point numbers behave in Java is crucial when you work with calculations that require precision. Unlike integers, floating point numbers such as float and double are subject to rounding errors caused by the way computers represent decimal values in binary. This can lead to surprising results, especially when performing simple arithmetic like adding 0.1 and 0.2.
To see this in action, you will write a small program that uses both float and double to add these two numbers and prints the results. Observing the output will help you recognize why floating point arithmetic can sometimes produce unexpected results and why you must be aware of these limitations when working with real-world data.
Swipe to start coding
Write a Java program that demonstrates floating point precision issues by separating the calculation logic into its own method. Your program should:
- Create a method named
calculateSumsthat adds0.1and0.2using bothfloatanddoubletypes. - The
calculateSumsmethod should return a data structure (such as an array) containing both sums. - In the
mainmethod, callcalculateSumsand print both results with clear labels. - Use the following template for your code.
