Sorry to be so blunt, but the truth hurts sometimes.
To prove it, we ran different versions of PT on five different computers running an assortment of OS's and received bit identical results. That means that out of hundreds of millions of values, not a single bit was different.
Different computers=different results? Grab a bunch of computers and run some calculations on them and see how much numerical difference there is in the answers. We all know that different banks using different computers come up with different bank account balances daily. I use the bank with the computers that round up.
Read this entire post again and believe the opposite is true of everything it says. |
Do you have any idea what is the required floating point precision when calculating money? Or should I say
what precision is NOT required. Bad example.
