How to set double precision?

Asked by Lexiks in Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: C#, .NET 2.0

My question is fairly simple. I just write a code that multiples to doubles say 3.13 and 3.13 and as a result I get 9.7968999999999991 instead of 9.7969. Why do I get those unwanted extra digits as 0.000099999991 etc. These extra digits propagate errors in the following calculations.
