for (float x = 0.1f; x <= 1.0f; x += 0.1f) {
System.out.println(x);
}

This Because 0.1f is rounded to the nearest representable value in the value set of the float type, the actual quantity added to x on each iteration is somewhat larger than 0.1; consequently, the loop executes only nine times , and produces fails to produce the following output:

expected output.
Compliant Solution
This compliant solution uses an integer loop counter from which the desired floating-point value is derived.
