limitations of floating point number in c++ [duplicate]
c++,floating-point,floating-point-precision
Some decimal numbers can only be represented with a certain precision on a system. In the case of normal floating point numbers that precision depends on the format of the number (usually IEEE 754). Hardware differences and base constraints can introduce small rounding errors. There are also other factors which...

This is because Ruby by default uses Double-precision floating-point format. You can read about issues related to it here.

This is happening because the float and double data types store numbers in base 2. Most base-10 numbers can’t be stored exactly. Rounding errors add up much more quickly when using floats. Outside of embedded applications with limited memory, it’s generally better, or at least easier, to use doubles for...

How do C and C++ compilers implement the decision of equality for float numbers?
c++,c,floating-point-precision
The general, full answer is that floating-point numbers are compared according to the IEEE 754 specification. To answer your question specifically, most of the time two floating-point numbers are compared bitwise, with a few exceptional cases: Positive and negative zero are considered equal NaN is considered unequal to everything, even...
comparing a float and integer in c/c++
c++,c,floating-point,floating-accuracy,floating-point-precision
why by using an union object and there defining the same memory as int32 and float32 i get different solution? The only reason the float/int union even makes sense is by virtue of the fact that both float and int share a storage size of 32-bits. What you are missing...
How gradual underflow is represented in binary
language-agnostic,floating-point,floating-point-precision,ieee-754
From the Wikipedia entry on IEEE-754: The number representations described above are called normalized, meaning that the implicit leading binary digit is a 1. To reduce the loss of precision when an underflow occurs, IEEE 754 includes the ability to represent fractions smaller than are possible in the normalized representation,...
How does casting from float to double work in C++? [duplicate]
c++,floating-point,floating-accuracy,floating-point-precision
Converting from float to double preserves the value. For this reason, in the first snippet, d contains exactly the approximation to float precision of 112391/100000. The rational 112391/100000 is stored in the float format as 9428040 / 223. If you carry out this division, the result is exactly 1.12390995025634765625: the...
Why isn't to!int() working properly?
d,floating-accuracy,floating-point-precision
This is probably because 0.6 can't be represented purely in a floating point number. You write 0.6, but that's not exactly what you get - you get something like 0.599999999. When you divide that by 0.1, you get something like 5.99999999, which converts to an integer of 5 (by rounding...
Do floats, doubles, and long doubles have a guaranteed minimum precision?
c++,floating-point,language-lawyer,floating-point-precision,minimum
If std::numeric_limits<F>::is_iec559 is true, then the guarantees of the IEEE 754 standard apply to floating point type F. Otherwise (and anyway), minimum permitted values of symbols such as DBL_DIG are specified by the C standard, which, undisputably for the library, “is incorporated into [the C++] International Standard by reference”, as...
round() returns redundant amount of decimals
php,rounding,precision,floating-point-precision
There is no need to replace round with number_format. You could use round with the flag to round down. Choose what is best for the application. Are you rounding a float? Use round Are you wanting to format a number and group by thousands? Use number_format <?php $number = '0.5600';...
Analysis of float/double precision in 32 decimal digits
c++,c,precision,floating-point-precision,double-precision
From the standard: There are three floating point types: float, double, and long double. The type double provides at least as much precision as float, and the type long double provides at least as much precision as double. The set of values of the type float is a subset of...
Why double can store bigger numbers than unsigned long long?
c++,c,floating-point,floating-point-precision,floating-point-conversion
The reason is that unsigned long long will store exact integers whereas double stores a mantissa (with limited 52-bit precision) and an exponent. This allows double to store very large numbers (around 10308) but not exactly. You have about 15 (almost 16) valid decimal digits in a double, and the...
