Javascript Floating Point Precision Issue

Javascript Floating Point Precision Issue.js
// Example 1.
var firstFloatingPointNumber = 1.0;
var secondFloatingPointNumber = 0.7;
var result = firstFloatingPointNumber - secondFloatingPointNumber; // 0.30000000000000004, instead of 0.3.
// To fix that precision issue.
result = (firstFloatingPointNumber - secondFloatingPointNumber)/ 10; // 0.3
