    LOL! Man I learned that in college and never used it ever again. I never came across any scenarios in my professional career as a software engineer where knowing this was useful at all outside of our labs/homework.

    Anyone got any example where this knowledge became useful?

      If you’re doing any work with accounting, or writing test cases with floating point values.
