Um, zero. As far as MATLAB is concerned, the two are identical. To prove that, I'll do this:
>> hex = sprintf('%bx',0.01)
hex =
3f847ae147ae147b
>> hex = sprintf('%bx',.01)
hex =
3f847ae147ae147b
So the two numbers in hex form are identical. Or look at them using HPF.

Just a leading zero but essentially they are the same - subtracting them will give a perfect zero (I tried/verified). Perhaps you're thinking of this: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_0.3_-_0.2_-_0.1_.28or_similar.29_not_equal_to_zero.3F

im confused because i tried it on 2 different computers with different versions of matlab. On the computer that had Matlab 2012 there was an error while in the other computer with matlab 2007 it ran smoothly.

Tried WHAT on two different computers? What was the error (make sure you copy and paste all the red error text)?
