Hi all, Let's assume we have two float arrays, `x0` and `h`, both of which have the same shape. Let's calculate the sum of those two arrays:
``` x1 = x0 + h ``` The true representable difference between `x1` and `x0` is: ``` dx = x1 - x0 ``` Is it also possible to get that exact representation by doing the following: ``` dx = (x0 + h) - x0 ``` Or is there a risk that the Python interpreter would prematurely optimize that to give: ``` dx = h ``` -- _____________________________________ Dr. Andrew Nelson _____________________________________
