      For those confused

      2.25+2.25=4.5 rounds to 2+2=5

      2.5+2.5=5 truncates to 2+2=5

      Both can crop up in programming, depending on the situation.

        A few months back I had a floating point that had a single 1 like 16 digits past the decimal place and I couldn’t get rid of it.
