calculation error or double precision limit?
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
I was wondering about the result when calculating following simple formula:
K>> 0.067 * 1e9
ans =
6.7000e+07
Following gives the correct result (integer):
K>> 0.067 * 1e8 * 1e1
ans =
67000000
Where is the difference in the calcualation?
Is it an error or a double precision limit?

You should download this and give it a try with the same examples as above:
Also have a look at the intermediate values, such as 0.067 * 1e8. This shows that there are a few digits that creep in after the end of the double precision limit (fifteen digits).
