1 == 1.0, no?

You are printing a value, which means it has to go through a conversion 
from the value to a string (i.e. printable). writefln has no idea what 
you wrote as a literal, it just sees the value 1 (as a double). I hope 
we never make a distinction here!

If you want to tell it EXACTLY what to print, print a string:

writeln("1.0");
