For what purpose strictfp keyword is used in java?

Hi Sarje,

The keyword strictfp allows u to have more (predictable) control over floating-point arithmetic.

Strictfp ensures that u get exactly the same results from u r floating point calculations on every platform.

U can use strictfp as a modifier of class, interface, and method declarations, like..

strictfp interface A {}

public strictfp class geek
{
strictfp void f() {}
}

Thanks,
Riju.

Hi,

strictfp keyword is used in java to ensure that the JVM follows IEEE 754 standard for floating point arithmetic If this keyword is not used then presion of result of floating point arithmetic is depends upon the JVM.
