New submission from Kostis Gourgoulias <kgourgoul...@gmail.com>:
This was brought to my attention by a colleague, Albert B.
When considering the floor division // operator, 1//0.01 should return 100.0,
but instead returns 99.0. My understanding is that this is because 0.01 is
represented by
Decimal('0.01000000000000000020816681711721685132943093776702880859375')
which is greater than 0.01.
math.floor(1/0.01) correctly outputs 100. Shouldn't the two approaches provide
the same answer?
