It's the distance between 1.0 and the next representable float.
- jdthedisciple 2y agoI got that but I am curious how to derive that number. Is it representable as a non-trivial ratio of integers?
- hmry 2y agoGood question! It's 1/(2**23), because 32 bit floats have 23 bits after the decimal point
