Component: hugs | Version: 200609
Resolution: invalid | Keywords: arithmetic operations

Comment:
This is normal behaviour for floating point types in any language: being
fixed size binary formats, they can represent decimal fractions only
approximately. For operations on exact fractions, Haskell provides
`Rational`.
