Why Java's strictfp Keyword Guarantees Consistent Floating‑Point Results Across Platforms
Floating‑point calculations can yield different results on Windows, macOS and Linux due to JVM optimisations; the strictfp keyword forces Java to follow the IEEE‑754 standard exactly, disabling hardware‑level precision tricks so that the same code produces identical results on any OS, CPU or JVM implementation.
