top | item 44723079 (no title) nephrite | 7 months ago They just reimplemented floating point with bigger mantissa and exponent. Rounding erorrs will appear with sufficiently large/small numbers. discuss order hn newest ncruces|7 months ago Actually, the exponent is smaller. IEEE 754 64-bit binary floats have an 11 bit exponent, 1 sign bit, and 53 bit mantissa (one of the bits of the mantissa is implied, by actually knowing what they're doing, rather than… whatever this is).
