Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: One more question:
What are the use cases for an exact summation algorithm? That is, in what situations does one care about exactness rather than simply accuracy? I know that loss of accuracy is a problem in things like numeric integration routines, but something like Kahan summation (faster and simpler, but not exact) usually takes care of that. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2819> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
