The floating point precision problem can be found in the following simple ( C)
program :
***
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
float x;
float y;
x = 0.625;
y = 0.425;
printf("x = %f x = %10.2f\n", x, x);
printf("y = %f y = %10.2f\n", y, y);
return 0;
}
***
This program compiled with GCC 4.1.1.
The expected result is:
x = 0.625000 x = 0.63
y = 0.425000 y = 0.43
However, the actual result is:
x = 0.625000 x = 0.62 <---- !!
y = 0.425000 y = 0.43
Is this problem comes due to the compiler ?
