Hi,
I am trying to generate sine wave. I am usning following two code lines. But they are slightly different (about e-15). Why is it happenning ? What is the differences of two lines;
f0=5e2;
fs=500e2;
len=3e3;
dt=1/fs;
t=0:dt:(len-1);
sing1= sin (2*pi*f0*t);
sing2= sin(2*pi*(f0*t));
isequal(sing1,sing2)
Thanks for your help,

From wikipedia
"While floating-point addition and multiplication are both commutative (a + b = b + a and a × b = b × a), they are not necessarily associative. That is, (a + b) + c is not necessarily equal to a + (b + c). ... "
As floating-point multiplication is NOT ASSOCIATIVE, both results might be different.

Sometime this non-associativity is a real headeach, such as finding a limits of a sign- alternate series by partial sum, or integral of an oscillated signal (any wave propagation SW might encounters this). There is a real challenge to know what really the limits and the order of the sum can make the result change widely.

In the first the order of operation is from left to right.
In the second the order of operation is inside the parenthesis and then the outer.
