New submission from Mark Dickinson: Division of two longs can produce results that are needlessly inaccurate:
>>> from __future__ import division >>> 10**40/10**39 10.000000000000002 The correct result is, of course, 10.0, which is exactly representable as a float. The attached snippet of Python code shows that things don't have to be this way. ---------- files: int_truediv.py messages: 59798 nosy: marketdickinson severity: minor status: open title: True division of integers could be more accurate type: behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9137/int_truediv.py __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1811> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
