>>If you run this piece of code the first value will be 6.2, second 
will be a
NO and then toString will result in 6.199999999999999.

This is neither a CF bug, neither a Java behavior.
This is a normal behavior in digital computers and the way real numbers 
are stored.
If #c# seems to be output correctly, it is probably because of rounding 
by CF.
But the test fails, because c is not exactly 6.2

As a basic principle in programing, one should never (and I really mean 
*never* ;-)
compare floating values, especially when they are results of an operation.

Instead of c EQ 6.2, one should use Abs (c - 6.2) LTE 0.000001
or anything equivalent.
