We can easily calculate how many decimal digits the 53-bit significand of an IEEE double is equivalent to: -53 / 3.332 which is equal to about 15.95. +53 / 3.322 which is equal to about 15.95. But what does 15.95 digits actually mean? It depends whether you are concerned about how many digits you can rely on, or how many digits you need. |
