Show HN: Float Explorer (iPad app to learn about floating point numbers)
- chrisBob 12y agoI do a fair amount of programming, but I am a Mech Engineer not a CS guy, so the other day I had to admit that I didn't really know how a floating point numbers work. The wikipedia was too detailed and confusing, so I put together this app. The first draft is iPad only (and accidentally requires iOS 8), but will give you a good understanding of floating point precision and storage after a minute or two of poking around. I personally enjoy being able to tap and toggle bit values :)
