问题描述
能有人给我一个浮点数（双precision），需要超过16显著小数位数重新present的例子吗？
Can someone give me an example of a floating point number (double precision), that needs more than 16 significant decimal digits to represent it?
我，有时你需要到17位，但我不能够找到这样一些例子（16似乎只要我）。
I have found in this thread that sometimes you need up to 17 digits, but I am not able to find an example of such a number (16 seems enough to me).
有人可以澄清这一点？
非常感谢！
推荐答案
我的对方的回答是大错特错了。
My other answer was dead wrong.
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned long long n = 1ULL << 53;
unsigned long long a = 2*(n-1);
unsigned long long b = 2*(n-2);
printf("%llu\n%llu\n%d\n", a, b, (double)a == (double)b);
return 0;
}
编译并运行看看：
Compile and run to see:
18014398509481982
18014398509481980
0
a和b都只是2 *（2 ^ 53-1）和2 *（2 ^ 53-2）。
a and b are just 2*(2^53-1) and 2*(2^53-2).
这些都是17位的基数为10号。当舍入为16位数字，它们是相同的。然而，a和b清楚仅需要precision的53位基-2-重新present。所以，如果你把b和扮演他们翻一番，你得到你的反例。
Those are 17-digit base-10 numbers. When rounded to 16 digits, they are the same. Yet a and b clearly only need 53 bits of precision to represent in base-2. So if you take a and b and cast them to double, you get your counter-example.
这篇关于为什么我需要17显著位（而不是16）重新present双？的文章就介绍到这了，希望我们推荐的答案对大家有所帮助，也希望大家多多支持！
