Re: Math problem in ESP32?

Float numbers are imprecise; probably the result of 0.1 + -0.1 is ever-so-slightly negative because of effectively a binary rounding error. Your print will round that number down to two digits after the decimal, so you get the 'weird' -0.00 result.
OK. Thanks for your reply.

float val1 = -0.1;
float val2;

void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop(){
val2 = val1 + 0.1 ...
