ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows and Java 8

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The value for 0.2 raised to power 3 is expected to be 0.008 however java function Math.pow results in 0.008000000000000002

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
public class JavaMathPower {
    public static void main(String args []){
        double base = 0.2;
        double exponent = 3;
        double calVal = Math.pow(base,exponent);
        System.out.println(calVal);
    }
}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
0.008
ACTUAL -
0.008000000000000002

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use BigDecimal instead of double
