I was looking for a way to characterize those "bad" IEEE754 representations.
Here is one proposal:
we could had an implementation of th

I understand and agree with your analysis of the IEEE754 representation, but I
would still like to see if there is anyting clever that we ca

Luc Maisonobe commented on MATH-151:
The point is neither on the rounding method not on the scale factor, it is
rather on the initial number itself.

Thanks for digging into this, Luc.
I agree that the source of the problem here is in the decimal - binary
conversion; but I don't want to c

Luc Maisonobe commented on MATH-151:
I think this behaviour is normal.
Despite 39.245 has a finite representation in decimal, this is not true in base
2, it has a infinite n
