A Tech Life

Great article on the issue of rounding floating point numbers.  In this article on Reg developer the author Dan Clarke discusses the misues of floating point numbers in current development practices.  He points out that with space craft crashing, inconsistent information on bank statements and pensioners being short changed (he provides validation for these example) that the practice of rounding floating point numbers can have disasterous results.  So take note all you developers using floating point numbers…and leave my bank statement alone.
