There is no exact representation of 0.15 in binary floating point.
I suggest not printing so many digits after the decimal point.
printf() should round it.
0.15 as double:
Before: 0.149999999999999966693309261245303787291049957275390625000000
Value: 0.149999999999999994448884876874217297881841659545898437500000
After: 0.150000000000000022204460492503130808472633361816406250000000
0.15 as float:
