If I write 0.25
then I know the computer can represent this exactly
But, it can not store 0.1 exactly!
((how does it store 0.1 ???))
---
Have just written a small C program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
float a = 0.1;
if (a == 0.1) {
printf("same
");
} else {
printf("differ
");
}
return 0;
}
When I run this it prints 'differ' !!
.. your result may vary ...
((if it differs, change 0.1 to 0.25 in both places
.. this should be the same
))
((hmmn - ok, if I change float to double then 0.1 is same))
---
In the end, I solved it by adding 0.0133 to the variable and checking if it equaled 1. It went through.
In non-language type code
number = 1.0/3.0; ie (1/3)
print "%0.4f" number ==> 0.3333
print "%0.5f" number ==> 0.33333
if (number == 0.3333) {
print "hi"
}
... not going to do anything,
as we know it's not 'really' 0.3333
if (number == 1.0/3.0) {
print "yes"
} else {
print "no"
}
... don't know the result!
number is stored in a variable (memory);
1.0/3.0 will be stored in registers, which could
be a different size to memory
- that is, a different number of bits
.. which are unlikely to be the same
Sorry for the dull message - but float equality is dangerous ground.
((why is 1.0/4.0 likely to behave well
but 1.0/10.0not?
))
As a computer programmer I'll tell you that this is not limited to the construction set.
