How is it that Java's BigDecimal can be this painful? Double d = 13.3D; BigDecimal bd1 = new BigDecimal(d); BigDecimal bd2 = new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(d)); System.out.println("RESULT 1: "+bd1.toString()); System.out.println("RESULT 2: "+bd2.toString()); RESULT 1: 13.300000000000000710542735760100185871124267578125 RESULT 2: 13.3 Is there any situation where Result 1 would be desired? I know that Java 1.5 changed the toString() method but was this the intended consequence? Also I realise that BigDecimal has doubleValue() etc, but the library that I am working with helpfully uses a toString() and I can't change that :-( Cheers.
