CWE-1077

The code performs a comparison such as an equality test between two float (floating point) values, but it uses comparison operators that do not account for the possibility of loss of precision.

{"xhtml:p":["Numeric calculation using floating point values\n\t can generate imprecise results because of rounding errors.\n\t As a result, two different calculations might generate\n\t numbers that are mathematically equal, but have slightly\n\t different bit representations that do not translate to the\n\t same mathematically-equal values. As a result, an equality\n\t test or other comparison might produce unexpected\n\t results."]}
