A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Float.parseFloat does not round correctly in some cases, and can even be nonmonotonic. Naturally, this affects the compiler as well as compiled programs.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Execute the below-provided source code.



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect the above to print "true", since 144115196665790480 <= 144115196665790481.

ACTUAL -
The above prints "false".

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
