Microsoft‘s bug gives Sqrt(4)-2 !=0 in Windows 8‘s calculator.

Mathematically, square root of 4 is 2. So square root of 4 minus 2 is equal to 2-2 is equal to zero. But there is bug in Microsoft‘s calculator, which gives a non-zero result, which is tends to zero for this expression. If you want to check this out, then follow the steps below.

1. Open Start Menu by pressing the Windows button. Now type Calculator and the

The actual result is -8.1648465955514287168521180122928e-39 which is scientific notation for -8.1648465955514287168521180122928 × (10)^(-39) or -0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000081648465955514287168521180122928. This result is for handling floating point decimals. So, though it looks like surprising, actually it is not and the answer is absolutely right according to the algorithm of the program.
