Dive into the fascinating world of floating-point numbers and discover why computers sometimes struggle with simple arithmetic.
In this episode, we explore:
- The IEEE 754 standard: How computers represent decimal numbers using sign, exponent, and mantissa
- Precision challenges: Why floating-point arithmetic can lead to unexpected results in critical systems
- Floating-point quirks: The surprising reason why 0.1 + 0.2 might not equal exactly 0.3 in your code
Tune in for mind-blowing insights into the low-level workings of computer arithmetic and their real-world implications!
