See IEEE 754. For the purposes of this specification, it \shall be understood that the result of an arithmetic operation in which one of the - operands is a floating point number may not be able to be represented exactly + operands is a ^floating-point number may not be able to be represented exactly in its binary representation, which may result in precision errors. These errors may cause problems with rounding operations.
