Publisher review:Floating Point Simulator class readily reproduces textbook examples and provides immediate demonstrations of representation error, loss of precision (subtractive cancellation), and the failure of the distributive, commutative, and associative laws. This class readily reproduces textbook examples and provides immediate demonstrations of representation error, loss of precision (subtractive cancellation), and the failure of the distributive, commutative, and associative laws. Beyond textbook work, this class is also useful for exploring the numerical robustness of alternative algorithms.
Floating Point Simulator is a Python script for Programming Methods and Algorithms scripts design by Raymond Hettinger.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
