Description

hi i just tried some groovy by following http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_groovy/numbers.html
code:

import java.text.*
 int nb = 0
try {
    nb = NumberFormat.getInstance().parse('33.5') // '.5' will be ignored
    nb = NumberFormat.getInstance().parse('abc')
} catch (ParseException ex) {
    assert ex.getMessage().contains('abc')
}
assert nb == 33

i get the error Caught: java.lang.AssertionError: Expression: (nb == 33). Values: nb = 335

and when i do println nb it gives me the value 335 !
i categorize this as blocker because it can block the whole system if youre working with floats castings
