Problem when adding decimal values with parseFloat

[RajeshVoruganti]

When i am adding the two decimal values using with java script

var first = 0.1;
var second = 0.2;

var tot = parseFloat(firs t) + parseFloat(seco nd);

i am expecting result as : 0.3

But it is giving result as : 0.3000000000000 0004


Please let me know if anyone know the solution.

there is no solution. that is a limitation of floating point arithmetics. all you could do is round the value to a desired number of digits.

try parseDouble(tot ); at the end of your result

parseDouble() is not a built-in JavaScript function.
