Modulus with doubles in Java

Viewed 20930

How do you deal with Java's weird behaviour with the modulus operator when using doubles?

For example, you would expect the result of 3.9 - (3.9 % 0.1) to be 3.9 (and indeed, Google says I'm not going crazy), but when I run it in Java I get 3.8000000000000003.

I understand this is a result of how Java stores and processes doubles, but is there a way to work around it?
