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.

2.25 + 2.25 = 4.5

If you add two floats together then the output is a float, if you add an int and a float together the output is a float. Computers will always perform the calculation as is, unless you explicitly tell them to perform a rounding operation.

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.
