- bryanlarsen 12y agoMy most interesting finding was that we started losing precision before switching to exponentional notation. The former happened around the 10^17 mark, the latter around the 10^19 mark.
- readerrrr 12y agoIt would be great to see the formula for the cost for exponents as well. How do you calculate/increase it? It is close to 1.5 times, but not quite, it grows slowly.
- fredley 12y ago[Here's the formula](https://github.com/fredley/exponent/blob/master/main.js#L64 https://github.com/fredley/exponent/blob/master/main.js#L64), I came up with a basic exponential growth equation and tweaked it so that the speed of growth felt about right.
