- A NOTE ABOUT FLOATING POINT AND INTEL PENTIUM(TM) MATH ERRORS:
-
- AddEase, BizWiz, and M-B-A-nalyst calculators all use precise
- binary coded decimal (BCD) math. The Windows 3.1 calculator
- (and most others) use floating point math which often generates
- round-off errors. This type of math is also susceptible to
- Pentium division errors although these errors are much more rare.
-
- EXAMPLE: Using the Win 3.1 calculator, 2.01 minus 2.0 produces
- an answer of 0 instead of 0.01, and 750.35 minus 750.30 equals
- 0.04999999999995. These errors are due to floating point roundoff.
-
- EXAMPLE: Pentium chips produce division errors which affect
- floating point calculators. Using the Windows calculator on a
- Pentium: 5,505,001 divided by 294,911 is 18.666000093. The
- correct answer is 18.66665197.
