    Default java -working with decimal numbers

    hello java forum,
    Good Morning.


    Here i came up with a mess about a program.

    Iam not obtaining a accurate result .

    But , in C the program is giving an accurate result.



    in java , the program goes like this

    public class FloatingNumber {
    public static void main(String...args) {
    double i;
    double num=0.0;
    for(i=0.0;i<10;i++)
    num=num+0.1;
    System.out.println(num);
    }
    }

    // output =0.9999999999999999

    // In C the program goes like this

    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<math.h>
    main()
    {
    double i, num=0.0;
    for(i=0;i<10;i++)
    num=num+0.1;
    printf("%f",num);
    }

    // output =1.00000

    please explain me the difference and resolve my problem.

    Thanks in advance
