I am using windows os and python 3.6,

test = 10+3.14j
test = test + 1j
print (test)

while executing the above code, I get following output (10+4.140000000000001j) --> why this 0000000000001j is getting added.

Due to rounding errors with floating point numbers. – Willem Van Onsem May 24 '17 at 13:23
Adding one isn't the issue. Look at the value of `test` immediately after the first assignment. – chepner May 24 '17 at 13:25
