> we can get faster code by using a small (3Kb) table of factorial logarithms The problem here is that C gives no guarantees about accuracy of either log2 or exp2, so we'd be playing a guessing game about how far we can go before the calculation becomes unsafe (in the sense of the `round` operation potentially giving the wrong answer). I think it would be better to stick to integer-only arithmetic. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
