Python Tip
# Floating point arithmetic
print(0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 == 0.1 * 3) # True
# Alright, how about these?
print(0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 == 0.3) # False
print(0.1 * 3 == 0.3) # False
# For exact decimal arithmetic, we use the decimal module
# and Decimal class
from decimal import Decimal
one_tenth = Decimal("0.1") # For brevity's sake
# All 3 return True
print(one_tenth + one_tenth + one_tenth == one_tenth * 3)
print(one_tenth + one_tenth + one_tenth == Decimal("0.3"))
print(one_tenth * 3 == Decimal("0.3"))
# But you can't mix Decimal and floating point!
print(Decimal("24.99") * 1.05)
# TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *:
# 'decimal.Decimal' and 'float'Floating Point vs Decimal
