Why are calculator apps better than spotlight/Python?


Even someone who knows nothing about programming can do arithmetic in spotlight.

0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3 = 0

on my HP Prime calculator, in Python

0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3 = 5.551115123125783e-17

It's like talking to the wind but I think small problems like this cause people to decide programming is not for them.
