What is the implementation of floats ? Is it the traditional one with maximum sizes for the mantisse and the exponent ?
If it is, it is not true that float are decimal or even base-2 numbers. Why, because a fixed size of the mantisse implies some approximations. This is not the same implementation for the Python module decimal which keeps exact representation, if it can. Regards.
