Message: [QUOTE="Stefan Ram, post: 2838201"] I deem this better than my own explanations I have given on the subject so far, because he even manages to get the relevancy of the printing algorithm and everything else right using only few words. The string representation would be »0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625«, however. As far as I understand it, Double.toString(double) takes special measures to use a short decimal representation (such as »0.1«) instead, if the binary representation is the binary representation closest (or even second-closest?) to it in order to produce »nice« representations.
