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

(Geometry: area of a triangle) Write a program that prompts the user to enter three  points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) of a triangle and displays its area. The formula  for computing the area of a triangle is s = (side1 + side2 + side3)/2; area = 2√ s(s - side1)(s - side2)(s - side3) #Beginner In gcc c++ compiler using namespace std; #include<iostream> #include<cmath> using namespace std; int main() { float x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3; cout<< "Enter three point of triangle:" <<endl; cout<< "point1 x1 and y1 :" ; cin>>x1>>y1; cout<< "point2 x2 and y2 :" ; cin>>x2>>y2; cout<< "point3 x3 and y3 :" ; cin>>x3>>y3; float side1=sqrt(pow(x2-x1,2)+pow(y2-y1,2)); float side2=sqrt(pow(x3-x2,2)+pow(y3-y2,2)); float side3=sqrt(pow(x1-x3,2)+pow(y1-y3,2)); float s=(side1+side2+side3)/2; float area=sqrt(s*(s-side1)*(s-side2)*(s-side3)); cout<< "...
