Hi!
I'm nube and just learning, but found weird thing
50000 * 1.1 equals 55000.00000000001, but that's not wright.
I'm using 3.5.1 Shell. My friend checked - his got the same result.
So is it a bug or a feature?

LCK: it's a trait of float point arithmetic in computing: https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/floatingpoint.html . It's not a bug.
