Description:
------------
If you add up 0.30 and 0.15 it and then cast to integer it will end up in 44 instead of 45

Test script:
---------------
<?php
    
$test = 0.30 + 0.15;    
$test2 = ((int)(100 * $test));

echo $test2;

Expected result:
----------------
45

Actual result:
--------------
44

Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might
not have the same string representation after any processing. That also
includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly
printing it without any mathematical operations.

If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE
754 is, read this:

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
