That is the way floating point data works -- floating point data always has limited precision, as computers have a finite amount of memory.

Theoretically speaking, there are only two possible situations
1) Specify the level of precision you require, as in that post
2) Don't use floating precision values for something that requires fixed precision.

Can you help with this problem?
