Looks like Google should’ve used BigDecimal!

Try googling this: “1 - 0.9 - 0.1″. Google’s answer: 1 - 0.9 - 0.1 = -2.77555756 × 10-17.

Yahoo gets it right, though.

(the BigDecimal thing is a joke, btw)

Thanks for the screenshot. I found the post on Amr’s blog but it seems like they have fixed the issue now. Will put a link to your post from my blog.
