No, I'm saying 15 digits. That's *total* combined between integer
and decimal
places.
However, because the floating point is stored in a scientific
notation, you can
add a bunch of extra zeros to push those 15 digits around.
So you can have:
(15 digits) + (307 zeros).0
or
0.(307 zeros) +(15 digits)
(note: I've simplified the math a lot here, because none of this is
really
stored in terms of decimal places. It's really stored as powers-of-
two, binary
format. It's really 2^51 +/- 2^e , where e can be up to anywhere up
to 1023)
Okay, I'm getting you. Maximum 15 unique/consecutive digits,
positioned/valued by additional zeros.
Thanks!
