Google Calculator Fun/Bug?
I realized tonight that Google Calculator will give you incorrect results.
http://www.google.com/search?q=10000.01+%2B+10000.03999999999999
...gives me 20000.1
https://www.google.com/search?q=10000.67+%2B+10000.02
... gives me 20000.7
I wonder why it insists on rounding my answers (and sometimes incorrectly)? Any hypotheses? Is it a bug? Do they only allow a certain number of significant figures?
- fl3tch 14y ago100000.01 + 100000.03999999999999 gives 200000, so it's not wrong, just rounding to 6 sigfig.
