Both string representations will be parsed as the same double-precision 64-bit binary format IEEE 754 value[1]: 100000000101000111101011100001010001111010111000010100011110101 (Therefore: 12.479999999999999 === 12.479999999999998) The different string representation is allowed for conforming ECMAScript implementations according to ECMA-262 5.1 Edition, section 9.8.1 step 5[2].
