whats wrong? they're the same value no?

I think they're pointing out that Python outputs E notation vs JavaScript which outputs the decimal notation.

Edit: Wasn't agreeing with it, just explaining what they were pointing out.

Yeah, but that… doesn't really matter. So it doesn't really make sense to post that here, especially with that headline.

Would this cause a problem? I'm assuming this would be deserialized to the same value, no?

But that's a stringify method, tho.
JS passes a float to the console. Console prints the float however it wants to.

Just do strict comparison when you want to compare a variable to1e-5.
Cause a string of 0.00001 should be passed through parseFloat (or whatever your language equivalent is) before you compare it to a variable with the value f0.00001
