Representing integers in doubles
Date : March 29 2020, 07:55 AM
will be helpful for those in need An IEEE754 64-bit double can represent any 32-bit integer, simply because it has 53-odd(a) bits available for precision and the 32-bit integer only needs, well, 32 :-)
It would be plausible for a (non IEEE754 double precision) 64-bit floating point number to have less than 32 bits of precision. That would allow truly huge numbers (due to the exponent) but at the cost of precision.

Why does this precision fail example show up with doubles but not with floats?

around this issue There are eight interesting values involved here (four for each type). Their exact values are: Double values 1.03d: 1.0300000000000000266453525910037569701671600341796875
0.42d: 0.419999999999999984456877655247808434069156646728515625
Result: 0.6100000000000000976996261670137755572795867919921875

Do floats, doubles, and long doubles have a guaranteed minimum precision?
Date : March 29 2020, 07:55 AM
this one helps. If std::numeric_limits::is_iec559 is true, then the guarantees of the IEEE 754 standard apply to floating point type F. Otherwise (and anyway), minimum permitted values of symbols such as DBL_DIG are specified by the C standard, which, undisputably for the library, “is incorporated into [the C++] International Standard by reference”, as quoted from C++11 §17.5.1.5/1.

How would you high precision compare floats & doubles sent into QML functions from Cpp side?

around this issue You should do it the same as in JavaScript: x = 0.2 + 0.1;
y = 0.3;
equal = Math.abs(x - y) < Number.EPSILON;
readonly property double epsilon: Math.pow(2, -52)

Why should I use Integers when I could just use floats or doubles in C#?
