Bug #17630

'+' doesn't work correctly for some floats (x.07 + y.4 will give z.46999999999997 instead of z.47)

Description

1.02 + 1.4 will give 2.42 as expected

but not for all cases.

examples for wrong answers:

1.07 + 1.4
-> 2.4699999999999998
255.07 + 5.4
-> 260.46999999999997
480.07 + 5.4
-> 485.46999999999997

other numbers works correctly:

255.06 + 5.5
-> 260.56
2.07 + 222222.4
-> 222224.47

seems like the problem is with x.07 + y.4 but only for some results.

As they say, this is by design. Closing.
