Note that this compliant solution also specifies that the floating-point literals (1.1) are of type double to clarify their expected type; this complies with guideline rule "NUM18-J. Be aware of numeric promotion behavior."

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
strictfp class Example {
  double d = 0.0;

  public void example() {
    float f = Float.MAX_VALUE;
    float g = Float.MAX_VALUE;
    this.d = f * g;
    System.out.println("d (" + this.d + ") might not be equal to " + (f * g));
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Example ex = new Example();
    ex.example();
  }
}

Exceptions

NUM09-EX1: This guideline rule applies only to calculations that require consistent floating-point results on all platforms. Applications that lack this requirement need not comply.

...

Sound automated detection of violations of this guideline rule is not feasible in the general case.
