python - Generating a list with foating point values -

this question has answer here:

i wish generate list these value:

[0,0.01,0.02...0.49]

and though correct way it:

[0.01*i in range(50)]

but horror observed following:

>>> 35*0.01 0.35000000000000003 >>> float("0.35") 0.35

what doing wrong? if understand correctly seems 35*0.01 not give closest floating point representation of 0.35 float("0.35") does.

to guarantee nearest valid floating point number, need start values exact. 0.01 isn't exact, 100.0 is.

[i/100.0 in range(50)]

Remember
