Double-precision math-thematics

    Is it fairly safe to assume that 3.555 - 3.555 == 0? How about 2.571-2.571? Someone tried to explain the imprecision of double --and other floating point-- types to me once, but I didn't entirely understand it. I assume a number is always represented the same way on a given system, in a given language (or whatever.) Right?
