Line 16: Numbers in JavaScript are represented in binary as IEEE-754 Doubles, which provides an accuracy to about 14 or 15 significant digits [http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_7 JavaScript FAQ 4.7]. Because they are binary numbers, they do not always exactly represent decimal numbers, particularly fractions. This becomes an issue when formatting numbers for output, which (JavaScript has no built-in methods ~~to format number~~ for ~~output)~~. For example: alert(0.94 - 0.01) // displays 0.9299999999999999
