i am trying to add 2 values in javascript.
if total=81.3 and tempval = 88.6

total = parseFloat(total) + parseFloat(tempval)

the desired o/p should be: 169.9
but the output generated is : 169.8999998

due to this value other values are affected.
what could be the problem??
Please help

I don't know the exact reason why this may happen,but While working in my application i also come up with the same problem and solve it by rounding up in javascript.

x = parseFloat(13.6);
y = ...

total = x+y...

This solves the issue for me...

total = Math.round(total*100)/100

this can also work..

total = total.toFixed(2).toString(10)
