Hi Darshan. This isn't a bug in Python. You're running into the limitations of floating-point arithmetic. There's a lot of good material on those limitations available on the web, starting with Python's own tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html If you want to understand what's going on in this particular case, take a closer look at the values of 90 - 180/k when k=2**62 and k=2**63, say. Are they the same? Should they be? Why / why not? ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
