If they're base-10 floats, they have all the same issues base-2 floats have Nitpick: although base 10 floats have similar issues related to being of limited precision, they are superior to base 2 floats in the aspect of representing decimal numbers without the binary approximation: e.g. 1/10 is nonrepeating as 1.0 x 10^-1 but infinitely repeating as binary, so for IEEE 754 binary32 you get 1.10011001100110011001101 (1.60000002384185791015625) x 2^-4. |
