math programming

Name: Anonymous 2011-02-03 11:44

math programming in sepples is rather complicated to the point that books are written on the subject. first there is the factor of limited precision of types, like how much a double or long double can hold. so is it preferable to use dynamic programming languages like Python and Perl that dont have any limit on length of floating point precision? and is it true that twos compliment creates gaps in the number line? do calculators use twos compliment? I noticed some high end calculators use the old Z80 or 6502 CPUs, but is there added arithmetic circuitry or can you rely on these standard CPUs to provide sufficient math processing?

Yes.

That depends on the range and precision of your computations.

Also what the fuck are you trying to say?
