[New-bugs-announce] [issue44034] Incorrect type casting of float into int

[Backbench Family]

New submission from Backbench Family <hbutt4319 at gmail.com>:

y = int(1.999999999999999) # fifteen decimal points
print(y)
1       # output is 1

y = int(1.9999999999999999) # sixteen decimal points
print(y)
2       # output is 2
It shows 1 when we type fifteen decimal whereas when we add sixteen decimal points the output becomes 2.
