What is the use of Strictfp method in java?
+4
A:
strictfp is a method or class modifier that forces the JVM to do floating point math a certain way that is guaranteed to be the same across different JVM implementations (stopping the JVM from cutting corners to improve performance and possibly lose some precision / accuracy).
More information can be found on the wikipedia entry, but it's low on detail. Hardcore information (if you care) can be found in the JVM spec.

A:
strictfp makes sure that the floating-point operations in the marked code will act the same across all platforms. It's something you might use in 2D/3D programming where you need to make certain you get exactly the same results regardless of what platform you run the program on.
