Floating Point Math Betrayal

> 0.5 + 0.1 === 0.6 <- true > 0.2 + 0.1 === 0.3 <- false

A split-panel programming meme shows Dwayne Johnson approving the result of 0.5 + 0.1 === 0.6, then reacting with shock when 0.2 + 0.1 === 0.3 evaluates to false. The joke references floating-point precision errors in programming, where decimal arithmetic can produce surprising results due to binary representation. It is shared as a reaction to unexpected bugs or deceptive computer math.
