I am building a Metrics Converter site where precise calculations matter a lot and I noticed a strange issue when performing these metrics calculations.
Let me post a few instances which I have come across and any solution would be appreciated.
I have a Centimeter to Meter Conversion Page where I take the user input and divide by 100 to get the meter output. It works properly except for a few strange numbers.
Eg - 0.009 cm would be 0.00009 Meters
The formula used would be 0.009/100 = 0.00009 Meters
However, JavaScript returns a weird result
The same can be verified in the console or on the website cm to meters also by providing the centimeter value.
Now the site requires precise calculations for these metrics/units it would be a bad experience to use if it displays a strange result with long numbers. I am sure that it will happen with many other floating point numbers and other conversion formulas that is been used.
I have noticed the same is not happening in Python, C# language as it returns accurately.
Any solutions or workaround is appreciated to solve this issue
