I noticed this: Poly/ML 5.5.1 Development > val a = 0.99999999999999972244424384371086489409208297729492187;; val a = 1.0: real > val b = 0.999999999999999722444243843710864894092082977294921876;; val b = 1.0: real > a < b;; val it = false: bool > a > b;; val it = false: bool
So both values are equal according to Poly/ML. But the correct conversion for the first one is (in hexadecimal floating point notation) 0x1.ffffffffffffdp-1, and for the second 0x1.ffffffffffffep-1, so the values should be different. _______________________________________________ polyml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/polyml
