Java - Accuracy issues for Estimate Cost

[unclebinary1001]

the getTotalClaimCostForDisaster method is of float data type so accuracy does not match expected value in TestSet2 so test4_getTotalClaimCostForDisaster fails for getTotalClaimCostForDisaster(56).

I tried changing estimate_cost data type in Claim.java and the return types of the methods that depend on it from Float to Double. This fixes the test and it works expected

Thanks for bringing this up. We're double checking and looking into it. Please continue on and we'll get back to you shortly

@unclebinary1001 You are right, looks like a float/Float doesn't have enough precision and we get the wrong expected value back. Thanks for catching this. I'll add it to our change log and push up a fix. Though it is late in the competition, hopefully this will help others working in Java too.

Sounds good.

I believe something similar may be happening in Test Set 3 for Test 11.
