Simple Math Question

Can someone help me understand this? Given the following code:

Dim y As Single
y = 1.44
For x As Single = 0 To 9
Console.WriteLine(x + y)
Next

Why the strange values when x = 7 and 8? This seems to only happen when y =
1.44 or 2.44 though more testing might uncover more. Obviously the simple fix
is to do a round to 2 places, but I discovered that a little after the fact.
Is this a bug? Thanks!

Doug
