The publisher’s own notes say: Many people know that you shouldn’t do decimal calculations, such as those involving U.S. dollars and cents, with the floating-point numbers in most programming languages. This is because decimal numbers can’t be expressed exactly as such floating-point numbers, so you will encounter rounding errors. Famously, with IEEE double-precision floats, 0.1 + 0.2 is not 0.3, but rather, 0.30000000000000004. On the other hand, I use a Python REPL to add up decimal numbers for receipts all the time. Of course, my stakes are lower; I’m summing things in the $1–$100 range and know to manually round the mic
