Processing float values: decimal output and IEEE 754 bit patterns

Some additional references on comparing floating point:

See example of use here for Processing constants:
Why are there individual keywords for different multiples of π - #7 by glv

Expanded example shows cases that are false:

Code
// The Processing constants are evaluated as double and then cast to float.
// These all evaluated to true

//// PI        = (float)Math.PI;
//println(HALF_PI == PI / 2);

//// THIRD_PI  = (float)(Math.PI / 3.0);
//println(THIRD_PI == PI / 3);

//// QUARTER_PI = (float)(Math.PI / 4.0);
//println(QUARTER_PI == PI / 4);

//// TWO_PI    = (float)(Math.PI * 2.0);
//println(TWO_PI == 2 * PI);

//// TAU       = (float)(Math.PI * 2.0);
//println(TAU == 2 * PI);

// A more generalized example to study:
for(int i=1; i<15; i++)
  {  
  float f1 = (float)(Math.PI / i);     
  //float f = (float)(Math.PI) / i;         
  
  float f2 =  PI/i;      
        
  println("PI/" +i, f1 == f2);
  println(f1);
  println(f2);
  println(nf(f1, 1, 16));
  println(nf(f2, 1, 16));
  println();
  }
