ruby: converting from float to integer in ruby produces strange results
3 answers
When I add 0.1+0.2
I am getting 0.30000000000000004
but when I add the same number in ruby 1.8.7
I am getting the correct answer 0.3
. I get 0.3
by rounding but I just want to get 0.3
on ruby 1.9.2
by adding 0.1
and 0.2
You need bigdecimal for this to make work.
(BigDecimal('0.1') + BigDecimal("0.2")).to_f

Your old ruby lied to you:
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> printf("%40.40f\n", 0.1 + 0.2)
0.3000000000000000444089209850062616169453
=> nil
Floating point numbers are very tricky beasts.
