why 1-0.4 = 0.6 vs 1 - 1.4 = -0.399999999999 and 0.1 - 0.5 = -0.4 vs 0.2 - 0.6 = -0.3999999 How to make the calculation consistent? What the best way to deal with that to be able to compare (0.2 - 0.6) == (0.1 - 0.5) to get true, not false as it is right now Julia ver 1.11.5

Why 1-0.4 = 0.6 vs 1 - 1.4 = -0.399999999999
