[ruby-core:98238] [Ruby master Bug#16843] A bug with floating point multiplication

Issue #16843 has been updated by FedorKK (Fedor Koshel).


Yes, but for example in Go:
``` go
func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%f", 0.29 * 100)
	fmt.Println()
	fmt.Printf("%f", 0.28 * 100)
	fmt.Println()
	fmt.Printf("%f", 0.27 * 100)
}

29.000000
28.000000
27.000000
```
