Re: Comparing floating point values in Java

I'm aware of problems (rounding, NaN etc) when comparing floating point
values in computers.
In C++ this goes a bit further as you cannot compare with certitude
floating point numbers even if you have made exactly the same operations
on each of them (see eg:
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/newbie.html#faq-29.18 )

My question: In Java, will unchanged values compare strictly true if equal?
Is it _guaranteed_ that the following code does output "true" on all JVMs?

example code:
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        float a = 1;
        float b = 1;
        System.out.println("a == b?: " + (a == b));
    }
}
