Hi folks,
I ran into a problem - or an effect, that I don't understand. There seems to be
a number that is too big to be displayed. See the following code:
pdl> p 2**40
1099511627776
pdl> p 2**32*1.00001
4295010245.67296
pdl> p 2**36*1.00001
68720163930.7674
pdl> p 2**38*1.00001
274880655723.069
My problem is that I am using a serialized value for the date and time - to
millisecond precision. So the following represents :
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.msmsms
DB<33> p ${$myData{MC800BTS1494}{1}{1}{time}}[0]
20120206201813.220
DB<34> p ${$myData{MC800BTS1494}{1}{1}{time}}[1]
20120206201813.320
DB<35> p ${$myData{MC800BTS1494}{1}{1}{time}}[2]
20120206201813.420
DB<36> p ${$myData{MC800BTS1494}{1}{1}{time}}[4]
20120206201813.620
You'll notice that there are two more digits displayed when they are in Perl
but after I convert them into a PDL, I lose the last two digits. I didn't think
that this was considered a BigFloat?
Any thoughts. Thanks,
