*Fun with Javascript
`Math.ceil(1.0000000000000001) // output = 1`
`Math.ceil(1.000000000000001) // output = 2`

I hope it'll lit a spark in your mind.

    The first is 1, because 1.0000000000000001 is considered equal to 1, because of float precision.

    Not just JS. Any language that allows one to work with Floating Point values.

    People don't know how to work with floating point numbers. Stop blaming languages or platforms for this.
