20 paź 2013 · An alternative is to stick to floats and add something that is exactly representable as a binary float: values of the form I/2**J. For example, instead of adding 0.01, add 0.125 (1/8) or 0.0625 (1/16). Then look up "Newton's method" for computing square roots ;-)

1 dzień temu · The problem with “0.1” is explained in precise detail below, in the “Representation Error” section. See Examples of Floating Point Problems for a pleasant summary of how binary floating point works and the kinds of problems commonly encountered in practice.
10 lut 2021 · I wrote a function to work out if a number is stored exactly or inexactly, and to show the rounding error: def float_rep(num): """Print info about whether a float is represented exactly or not.""" if not isinstance(num, float): raise ValueError("Please enter a floating point number.") sig_digits = 52 + abs(math.frexp(num)[1]) num_str = f"{num ...
21 kwi 2020 · print(Decimal('1.1') * 3) # 3.3. Make sure to use a string value, because otherwise the floating point number 1.1 will be converted to a Decimal object, effectively preserving the error and...
In this tutorial, you'll dive deep into working with numeric arrays in Python, an efficient tool for handling binary data. Along the way, you'll explore low-level data types exposed by the array module, emulate custom types, and even pass a Python array to C for high-performance processing.
21 gru 2023 · Floating-point numbers in Python are approximations of real numbers, leading to rounding errors, loss of precision, and cancellations that can throw off calculations. We can spot these errors by looking for strange results and using tools numpy.finfo to monitor precision .
