Why is this multiplication not working?
#1
Hello,I'm very new to Python, and I'm having trouble with some basic math.  I've getting a user to input a number and assigning it to a variable.  Then I'm multiplying it by the value of another variable, which I've set to 0.1 and displaying the result.  When the input is 3, and I multiply it by the other variable, instead of getting .3, I'm getting .3000000000004.

What could cause the multiplication to return what appears to be an incorrect value?
