System.out.println(0.9999999999999f==1.0f);//true: float has bad precision

System.out.println(0.999999999999==1.0);//false: by default is double, better precision

System.out.println(new BigDecimal("0.9999999999999").equals(new BigDecimal("1.0")));//false: even better precision than double


This is stated right from the start in the java docs and at the very beginning of the Java Technical Docs.
