 CD>  3.142(double) != 3.142(float)
Incidentally, one can show quite easily that a number with a finite number of 
digits in base 2 will have a finite number of digits in base 10, and that 
there are numbers that have a finite number of digits in base 10 that require 
an infinite number of digits in base 2.
0.2 is one example of the latter.
