Next, floating point math is not precise. Since a CPU is inherently an integer processor, performing floating point math results in an approximation.


Floating point math is done natively on every x86 from the Pentium forward. The rounding problem comes entirely from converting from base 2 (internal representation) to base 10. More specifically .1 (.01, .001. etc) is a repeating decimal in base 2 and cannot be represented exactly. This makes it impossible for the general case of floating point math to be done without rounding errors due to conversion.


To see the conversion of .1 to a binary decimal search for "Or for example, 0.1" in this WP article.

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.
