From the website...
"Since floating point computations are inexact, after every iteration
the floating point values are rounded back to integers."
Floating point operations are not inexact. There is exactly one
properly computed result for any given floating point operation.
This statement unfortunately perpetuates a misconception about
floating point. Perhaps a slight re wording, along the lines of
"Since floating point operations do not always produce exactly
the same results as the corresponding operations with real numbers,
the floating point values are rounded to integers."
would be appropriate.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
