float("8.1")*100 810.0 float("8.2")*100 819.9999999999999 ? float("8.3")*100 830.0000000000001 ? float("8.4")*100 840.0
Why is that? Is that a bug? or something I don't know yet? Could you guys answer my question?

We can answer, there's a whole page on the subject on docs.python.org: => https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html and if you want a bit of amusement around this:
import webbrowser webbrowser.open(f"https://{.1+.2}.com")
