a=0.1; a=a-1e-5 gives result a=0.1000

It's just a question of how the numbers are displayed.
Internally, the precision of computing is much higher.
format long % Use display format long
a = 0.1;
a = a - 1e-5
a =
0.099990000000000
format short
a
a = 0.1000

Thank you for nice example. I was confused before whether the Matlab changes the values at all because even after subtracting 6e-5 or so, the values were still same. I didn’t go past up to 9e-5 because I was like “what are the chances”. :D
