Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly
printing it without any mathematical operations.
If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
