Why Can't Processing Do Basic Math lol

That’s life with floating point values and computers. If you need real precision then you need to work around. One option what @GoToLoop suggested: use int or long int and treat part from the right as decimal part. You’ll get precision you need, but you need to divide those numbers before you show them. Divisor depends on amount of decimal places you use.

Java has BigDecimal class that can handle arbitrary accuracy with decimal number, but using it is not as straight forward.
