Inside a project I have been working in, I detected an anomaly when I make comparisons between two floats numbers. I have reproduced this error in a very basic loop just to show the problem in a simple way : clearconsole() list_temp = [0.40,0.30,0.20,0.10] acc = 0 for number in list_temp acc =…

Use ≈ (\approx) for floating point number comparisons.
