[issue27094] Floating Point Printing Error with 2+.8553 or 3+.8553

2016-05-23 Thread Seth Norton

New submission from Seth Norton:

In a basic command line interpreter, adding 2 or 3 to .8553 will cause the 
result to be displayed as if a rounding error occurred. The number is so small 
that I expect it is not a mathematical error but rather in how the number is 
printed.

The displayed answer is 2.85529997.

This also occurs in python 2.7.4. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit).
