Doubt in a product erro

Hi, I have wrinting a code e get a 1×0 empty double row vector error

So, what I wrote:

t1 = 0:0.01:300;

pmenor = 25*0.9;
pmaior = 25*(1.1);
idx1 = find(t1== pmenor);
idx2 = find(t1 == pmaior);

I got

idx2 =

  1×0 empty double row vector

But, if I write:

  idx2 = find(t1 == 27.5);
  
  idx2 =

        2751

So I dont understand the error since idx1 gives me the correct answer, because we know that 25*1.1 = 27.5.

Thanks for reading.

Here is a small correction to obtain the correct answers in your exercise:

t1 = 0:0.01:300;
N = 2;                % Number of decimal digits to be rounded, e.g.: N = 2 or 3 or 5, etc. 
pmenor = round(25*0.9, N);
pmaior = round(25*(1.1), N);
idx1 = find(t1== pmenor);
idx2 = find(t1 == pmaior);

The reason has to do with the accuracy of floating-point math on a binary computer. I suggest you read this question and answer, to get a better understanding of what is going on.
