Hello,
with the 3.2.4 windows (mingw) binary, I get the
following results:
octave.exe> format long
octave.exe> 1.0/3
ans =
0.333333333333333
octave.exe> single(1.0/3)
ans =
0.333333343267441
octave.exe> 1.0/3 - single(1.0/3)
ans = 0
I am wondering about the difference being 0.
In addition, how could I calculate the difference of 1.0/3 as single and
double?
Thanks for any hint,
Rolf
