Common Error : Equality Test of Two Floating-Point Values

 Common Error : Equality Test of Two Floating-Point Values

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()

{

double x = 0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1;

if(x == 0.5)

{

cout<<"x is equal to 0.5";

}

else

{

cout<<"x is not equal to 0.5";

}

return 0;

}

output:-

x is not equal to 0.5
