floating point subtraction in python
<p>I'm trying to subtract to floating point numbers in python.
I've values </p>

<p><code>a = 1460356156116843.000000, b = 2301.93138123</code></p>

<p>When I try to print <code>a-b</code>, it's resulting the value <code>1460356156114541.000000</code> contrary to the actual value <code>1460356156114541.06861877</code>.</p>

<p>What are the limitations in python while doing floating point arithmetic. Is there any way in python through which I can get the actual result of this subtraction?</p>
