java - On Doubles and Equality

Question

One of the methods i have returns a double. When testing this method as part of my jUnit, i noticed the following oddity:

    String a = "someString";
    String b = "someDifferentString";

    double result = c.getScore(a, b, true);
    System.out.println(result); // prints 0.0

    assert (result > 0.0); // Test passes

So .. I ask you, how can 0.0 be more then 0.0? Why does result > 0.0 evaluates to true?

Answer 1

assert is a Java keyword. You need assertTrue(result > 0.0)
