I read that a common way to demonstrate that floating point numbers suffer from approximation problems is by calculating this:
0.3 - 0.1 * 3 which should produce 0 but in Java, Python, and Javascript for example, they produce -5.551115123125783e-17 . Surprisingly (or not, ;) ), Go produces the correct 0 result! I wonder why is this so? Is it some higher precision being used versus these other languages? Or is it some extra correcting logic behind the scenes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
