precision - What happens to the potentially inaccurate digits in floating point arithmetic? -
according wikipedia, floating point arithmetic using double precision accurate minimum of 15 digits.
i'm in process of reading:
but i'm still bit confused on how digits past 15th handled. understand can accurate , not.
an example:
15th digit ^ 0.111222333444555xx..
due potential inaccuracy, makes sense me these digits ignored. if that's not case how handled?
