Life has kept me from Python studies since March, but now I resume. Playing around in the interpreter I tried:
py3: 1.9999999999999999 2.0 py3: 1.999999999999999 1.999999999999999 py3: int(1.9999999999999999) 2 py3: int(1.999999999999999) 1 It has been many years since I did problems in converting decimal to binary representation (Shades of two's-complement!), but I am under the (apparently mistaken!) impression that in these 0.999...999 situations that the floating point representation should not go "up" in value to the next integer representation. This is acting like in the case of 15 nines the final bit is "0", but with 16 nines it is "1". Would someone clarify this for me, please? -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
