Float displaying with a bunch of random numbers after decimal.

We do weekly releases of an in house software. So I have a custom field in a project that is a float that is used for the build number. I am using a on schedule workflow to find last weeks ticket and generate a new ticket and automatically go to the next build number. I am using the following code to get the value for the previous build number and get the next build number.

var Previous_Build = ctx.issue.fields.Build_Number;
var Next_Build = Previous_Build + 0.001;
console.log("Build: " + Next_Build);

So the previous build is 1.175 and gets +0.001. It should just be 1.176 but my console shows up as 1.176999855041504. 

 

I believe this may be a bug. Is there a workaround or a way to remove the trailing numbers without rounding or a way to round down?

The random numbers after the float are still an issue but the workaround was to just round the numbers.

This rounds up the last digit and leaves 3 decimal places.

var Next_Build = Math.round(Next_Build * 1000) / 1000;

 

This is the same thing but rounds down. 

var Next_Build = Math.floor(Next_Build * 1000) / 1000;
