A range is a type that essentially acts as an array, but really is only three numbers: start, end, and the step length. I.e. a=0:2^N would make a range where a[1]=0, a[i]==i-1, and a[end]=2^N. I haven't looked at the whole code, but if you're using rand([0...2^N]), then each time you do that

This is an intuitive explanation, but the mathematics of IEEE floating points seem to be designed so that 0.0 represents a "really small positive number" and -0.0 represents "exact zero" or at least "an even smaller really small negative number"; hence -0.0 + 0.0 = 0.0. I never understood this
