    Default BigDecimal question

    why does this:
    Java Code: 
    BigDecimal two = new BigDecimal(2.00);
   BigDecimal oneTen= new BigDecimal(1.10);
  System.out.println(two.subtract(oneTen));
    print out 0.899999999999999911182158029987476766109466552734 375
    instead of .90??

    Try using the BigDecimal(String) constructor. It is counter intuitive but it will work
