Double values addition

[Vijay Chandran]

Dear friends,

I have written this code. Actually, this is a part of my application:

class A
{
    public static void main(String[] ar)
    {
         double tierOne = 0.0;
         double tierTwo = 0.0;
         double total = 0.0;
         String one = "1000.00";
         String two = "1000.04";
         tierOne = Double.parseDouble(one);
         tierTwo = Double.parseDouble(two);
         total = tierOne + tierTwo;
         System.out.println("total: " + total); // Prints 2000.04
         String three = "1000.00";
         String four = "1000.09";
         tierOne = Double.parseDouble(three);
         tierTwo = Double.parseDouble(four);
         total = tierOne + tierTwo;
         System.out.println("total: " + total); // Prints 2000.0900000000001
    }
}

Its printing an incorrect value. The output must be 2000.09.
Please help me.

Regards,
Vijay
