java - float number is not the expected number after subtraction

I have the following statement:

float diff = tempVal - m_constraint.getMinVal();

tempVal is declared as a float and the getMinVal() returns a float value.

I have the following print out:

diff=0.099999905, tempVal=5.1, m_constraint.getMinVal()=5.0

I expect the diff is 0.1 but not the above number. how to do that?

Floats use the IEEE754 to represent numbers, and that system has some rounding errors.

Floating point guide

Wikipedia on IEE754

Bottom-line if you are doing arithmetic and it needs to be exact don't use float or double but us BigDecimal
