Valued getting changed to exponential

Decimals in Appian are known to not be super precise due to hidden decimal rounding issues inherent in Java (iirc). However when I use round() at least in your example above I do get the expected result of zero:

round( todecimal(31914.60) - todecimal(31914.40), 1 )
- 0.2

todecimal(
31914.60
) - todecimal(
31914.40
)
) - (
0.2
)

The above calculation is giving exponential value. Since these values is used further for some calculations and validations So it is getting a break.

and my requirement is that the value should not be more than 2 decimal precision. So I am using a round function and i also tried with round down function but it is not giving correct value in every case.

Can you provide sample code and any specific examples of inputs, expected results versus actual results? Without this any answers here will mainly be based on blind guessing.
