I'm getting the wrong values returned off a division with both float and double
variables... The correct value for p should be 1.84, for some reason, its
returning 1.8399999999999999.

public class floattest {
    
  public static void main( String[] args) {

    double w, c, p;
    w = 1280.00;
    c = 2355.20;
    System.out.println("w = " + w + "\n");
    System.out.println("c = " + c + "\n");
    p = c / w;
    System.out.println("p = " + p + "\n");

  }
}
